Import two-factor codes by QR

Move your TOTP codes from Google Authenticator (and similar apps) by scanning their export QR codes.

If your two-factor codes live in Google Authenticator or a similar app, you can move them into Multifactor by scanning the export QR codes — no need to re-enroll each account.

Export from Google Authenticator

  1. In Google Authenticator, open the menu and choose Transfer accounts → Export.

  2. Select the accounts to move.

  3. The app shows one or more QR codes (it splits large exports across several).

In Multifactor, open Import and choose Google Authenticator, then How to export for the exact steps.

Scan the codes

  1. On the Scan QR codes tab, point your camera at the first QR code.

  2. If the export has several codes, keep scanning the rest — Multifactor tracks which ones you've captured.

  3. No camera? Switch to Upload QR and select a screenshot of the code instead.

Review and finish

Once all codes are scanned, Multifactor shows the two-factor codes it found. Review them — choosing a new or existing account for each — then click Import.

Tip: After importing, you'll see live codes on each account just like a dedicated authenticator app. See Two-factor codes: TOTP and HOTP.
