Which apps can I import from?

Any authenticator that can export its accounts as a transfer QR code or a CSV file. The 2FA standard (TOTP) is the same everywhere, so the codes keep working after the move.

Will importing break my existing 2FA?

No. Importing copies the same secret keys, so both apps generate valid codes until you remove the accounts from the old one.

How to import accounts from another authenticator app

You don't have to re-enrol every account by hand. Authenticator App can import your existing accounts, either from an export QR code or from a CSV file.

Import your accounts

In your old authenticator app, find its export or transfer option and produce an export QR code or a CSV file.
Open Authenticator App and choose the import option in its settings.
Scan the export QR code, or pick the CSV file you exported.
Check the imported accounts generate the right codes, then remove them from the old app once you're confident.

Before you delete the old app

Sign in to one or two accounts using the new codes first.
Keep the old app installed until you've confirmed everything works.
Make sure your backup is on so the imported accounts are protected.
