How to export/backup tokens from privacyIDEA Authenticator for phone migration?

1

Hi privacyIDEA community,

I’m migrating from iPhone to Android and need to transfer my TOTP tokens from the privacyIDEA Authenticator app.

Current setup:

  • privacyIDEA Authenticator on iPhone
  • 50+ TOTP tokens configured
  • Need same tokens accessible on new Android phone

Questions:

  • Is there a built-in backup/restore feature for token migration?
  • Can I export TOTP secrets to import into other authenticator apps?
  • What’s the recommended workflow for hardware migration?

I understand re-setup from scratch might be necessary, but hoping there’s a more convenient option than reconfiguring 50+ tokens! :blush:

Thanks for any guidance!

In the wheel menu you have the possibility to export non-privacyIDEA tokens.
By intended design it is not allowed for security and management reason to export certain tokens, that are managed by privacyIDEA.
