Importing from Aegis or andOTP

tofa import reads the JSON export format used by Aegis and andOTP.

Aegis (Android)

  1. In Aegis: Settings → Import & Export → Export → Plain text.
  2. Transfer the file to your machine (scp, AirDrop, USB).
  3. Import:
tofa import ~/Downloads/aegis-export.json

The file is plain text — delete it after a successful import:

shred -u ~/Downloads/aegis-export.json   # Linux
rm -P ~/Downloads/aegis-export.json      # macOS

andOTP

Use Backups → Plain-text → Backup. Same import command. Same caveat about the export being plain text.

Migration QR codes

Google Authenticator exports as a QR-encoded URL (otpauth-migration://). Capture the screen showing it and run tofa scan, or save the QR as a PNG and run tofa add --qr migration.png.
