    How? Codes can easily be exported from Google Authenticator (never tried Authy).

      when i had to do it, they could only be exported to another google auth via QR code. I was forced to recreate the codes on every service.

        Someone made a parser for the Google QR codes and now some apps can import them directly. I switched to aegis this weekend and it worked perfectly.

          If you need a third party app to extract the private key, then it isn’t actually open. It’s just the step before Google encrypts the output.
