Migrating from Authy to Token2 hardware tokens or alternative TOTP Apps, including WinAuth

Authy Migration Toolset

Forked from

This is a Go library that allows you to access your Authy TOTP tokens.

It was created to facilitate migrating from Authy to Token2 hardware tokens (including Molto2 multi-profile TOTP hardware token) or other TOTP Apps. Additionally, it supports exporting profiles to WinAuth, a desktop TOTP app.

Please note that this tool only migrates non-Authy-hosted accounts (the ones that are generating 7-digit OTP with 10/20 seconds intervals). The tool is intended to migrate "standard" TOTP profiles: 6 or 8 digits, 30 seconds (Authy app supports only 30 seconds TOTP profiles in addition to its native accounts).

Applications

authy-export

This program will enrol itself as an additional device on your Authy account and export all of your TOTP tokens in Key URI Format.

Installation

Pre-built binaries are available from the page.

Alternatively, it can be compiled from source, which requires Go 1.12 or newer:

Follow the steps below to run the script from source code:

Install Go 1.12 or newer

Download the latest version of the toolset:

git clone https://github.com/token2/authy-migration.git
cd authy-migration

Install the qrcode module (other required modules will be installed automatically on the first run)

go get github.com/skip2/go-qrcode

Unzip to a folder, launch command line and change folder to {path}/cmd/authy-export and launch the command

go run git clone https://github.com/token2/authy-migration.git

To use it:

1. Launch authy-export.go
2. The program will prompt you for your phone number country code (e.g. 1 for United States) and your phone number. This is the number that you used to register your Authy account originally.
3. If the program identifies an existing Authy account, it will send a device registration request using the push method. This will send a push notification to your existing Authy apps (be it on Android, iOS, Desktop or Chrome), and you will need to respond that from your other app(s).
4. If the device registration is successful, the program will save its authentication credential (a random value) to $HOME/authy-go.json for further uses. Make sure to delete this file and de-register the device after you're finished.
5. If the program is able to fetch your TOTP encrypted database, it will prompt you for your Authy backup password. This is required to decrypt the TOTP secrets for the next step.
6. The program will dump all of your TOTP tokens in a file in the same folder: a .txt file which can be used for importing to Molto2 directly, or an .html file with QR codes, which you can use to import to other applications. If you plan to import the TOTP profiles exported from Authy to WinAuth, the filename should end with .wa.txt extension.
