Export TOTP tokens from Authy

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export to tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

If you can't go back to a "logged in" state in the desktop app (because you either never used the desktop app, or you did but don't have a backup of the necessary files), then your only option now to export your tokens is to use an Android phone, root it, and use that to access the Authy data. Look in the comments below to find instructions on how to do that:


The instructions below explain how to use the Authy desktop app to export your 2FA tokens. If that doesn't work, look for links in the section above, to find other options you can try.

--

This gist, based in part on a gist by Brian Hartvigsen, allows you to export from Authy your TOTP tokens you have stored there.
Those can be "standard" 6-digits / 30 secs tokens, or Authy's own version, the 7-digits / 10 secs tokens.

Since the Authy "desktop" app is a Chromium-based web-app, we'll use the Developer Tools provided by Chromium to execute Javascript code that will export the tokens in JSON or as QR codes. You can then import or manually add those in you preferred application.

Important: If you have any accounts that use the Authy TOTP SDK (eg. Gemini, Twitch, Sendgrid, Twilio, ...), you can NOT delete your Authy account, even after migrating your TOTP tokens to another software! If you do, you could be locking yourself out of all the accounts that require Authy specifically! Your only option here would be to go in those accounts, disable Authy 2FA, and enable another 2FA method. More details here.

Detailed How-To

  1. Install Authy desktop app, version 2.2.3 (the more recent versions won't work).

    Note: If you are prompted to update, do NOT do it; the latest version doesn't support --remote-debugging-port needed in point (2) below.

    (Click your OS below to get personalized instructions.)

    macOS

    Download and install this file: https://pkg.authy.com/authy/stable/2.2.3/darwin/x64/Authy%20Desktop-2.2.3.dmg
    MD5 hash: ab7e4ae5b88cb71f84394df6989950aa

    You can use the following command in Terminal, before launching Authy Desktop, to disable auto-updates:

    mkdir -p ~/Library/Caches/com.authy.authy-mac.ShipIt ; rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.authy.authy-mac.ShipIt/* ; chmod 500 ~/Library/Caches/com.authy.authy-mac.ShipIt
    Windows

    You can use the winget (CLI) tool:

    winget install --no-upgrade --force -e --id Twilio.Authy -v 2.2.3
    

    Or download and install one of those:
    64-bit: https://pkg.authy.com/authy/stable/2.2.3/win32/x64/Authy%20Desktop%20Setup%202.2.3.exe
    MD5 hash: efd176d89b280809b9f84fda9ba50840
    32-bit: https://pkg.authy.com/authy/stable/2.2.3/win32/x32/Authy%20Desktop%20Setup%202.2.3.exe
    MD5 hash: d66d63abb482523ad27dfe676e249fff

    Authy will start after installation. Close it ASAP.

    To prevent auto-update, go to the %LOCALAPPDATA%\authy folder, and delete Update.exe. Delete the app-2.5.0 folder, if it exists. (The version number will probably be a higher number.) In the app-2.2.3 subfolder, delete Update.exe.
    Of note: If you later want to uninstall Authy, you'll need to restore those files, as Update.exe is the executable used by the uninstallation process.

    Or, after the app updated, you can change your shortcut to execute "%LOCALAPPDATA%\authy\app-2.2.3\Authy Desktop.exe" --remote-debugging-port=5858 and change the Start in to %LOCALAPPDATA%\authy\app-2.2.3
    Even after an update is installed, 2.2.3 is still installed.

    Linux (using snap) (recommended)
    cd /tmp
    # curl -Lo authy.snap https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/H8ZpNgIoPyvmkgxOWw5MSzsXK1wRZiHn_18.snap
    curl -Lo authy.snap https://filebrowser.patati.ca/api/public/dl/Tk1sjeEi/H8ZpNgIoPyvmkgxOWw5MSzsXK1wRZiHn_18.snap # Copy of above file that is now gone
    if ! echo a488d3f3c06672a78f53da144f4325d8 authy.snap | md5sum -c --status ; then
        echo "Error: invalid MD5 hash"
    else
        unsquashfs -q -f -d authy-2.2.3 authy.snap
        cd authy-2.2.3/
    fi
    Linux (using flatpak) (alternative method if snap above doesn't work) (NOT WORKING ANYMORE)

    It seems flathub is using the api.snapcraft.io repo behind the scene, so trying to install using the below commands will fail, now that the Authy app was removed from api.snapcraft.io. Try to install directly the snap (using the above method), instead of using flatpak.

    flatpak install flathub com.authy.Authy
    # Update to the 2.2.3 commit (found this commit using: flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.authy.Authy)
    sudo flatpak update --commit=83c0df0dd48bbb6ad851f5cc62d6e0836e56e499c7a79041241809f8296e65cc com.authy.Authy
    # Optionally, if you want to export a JSON file, give access to Authy to your Home folders:
    sudo flatpak override --filesystem=home com.authy.Authy
  2. Start Authy desktop app, but add the --remote-debugging-port=5858 parameter to the command-line:

    macOS

    From Terminal.app: open -a "Authy Desktop" --args --remote-debugging-port=5858

    Windows

    Right-click the Authy desktop shortcut, and in the Target field write --remote-debugging-port=5858 at the end. Then click OK. Double-click the Authy desktop shortcut.

    Linux

    From a terminal: ./authy --remote-debugging-port=5858 (if you used snap)
    or flatpak run com.authy.Authy --remote-debugging-port=5858 (if you used flatpak)

  3. In Authy, Log in so you can see the codes being generated for you.

  4. If you have some codes that show a padlock next to them, you will need to enter your Backup Password before continuing below, or those codes won't be exported correctly (decryptedSeed will be empty).

  5. Open the following URL in Google Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser): http://localhost:5858

  6. Click the Twilio Authy link in that webpage.

  7. In Chrome Developer Tools top navigation bar, go in the Sources tab (if you don't see it, click >> to expand the full list), then select the Snippets sub-tab (tabs on the second line; again, click >> to expand the full list), and finally choose + New snippet.

    Careful here: do NOT open the Chrome Developer Tools like you normally do. When you go to http://localhost:5858, and click the Twilio Authy link in that webpage, it will show you Developer Tools for the Authy app. This is where you need to work. Here's a video that shows you exactly where you need to be, when you paste code: https://youtu.be/nArCf8iEqlw

  8. If you'd like to ensure the code below doesn't send anything to a remote server, you can disconnect from the internet now.

  9. In the snippet editor window that appears on the right, paste one of the following code options:

    Simplest

    This is the simplest form there is, and it will simply show you an object for each code you have in Authy. You can use that if you're scared to run complicated code you don't understand (i.e. the other options below).

    appManager.getModel().forEach(i => console.log(i))
    Simple

    This is still quite simple, but makes it easier to copy-paste everything out of the console in one operation.

    appManager.getModel().forEach(i => {
       console.log("{");
       console.log("    createdDate: " + i.createdDate);
       console.log("    accountType: " + i.accountType);
       console.log("    name: " + i.name);
       console.log("    originalName: " + i.originalName);
       console.log("    decryptedSeed: " + i.decryptedSeed);
       console.log("}");
    })
    QR codes

    This version will output QR codes that you can scan using another app, from your mobile device.
    If you uncomment the last line, you will also get a .json file that contains your tokens (name, secret & URL).

    All your Authy tokens will be displayed in the Console at the bottom; either copy-paste the TOTP URI, or scan the QR codes.

    Export to Bitwarden JSON - Simpler version

    From @oetiker (ref):

    [...] you will get a dump in json format which you can directly copy/paste into the bitwarden import tool. Since Authy does not contain complete login information, I would suggest to create a new folder for the import, so that you can then merge the TOTP tokens into the actual login entries.

    let x = []; 
    appManager.getModel().forEach(i => {
      if (i.decryptedSeed) {
        x.push({
          type: 1, 
          name: i.originalName ?? i.name ?? `[No Name] - Imported from Authy (${x.length})`,
          login: {username: i.name, totp: i.decryptedSeed}
        })
      }});
      console.log(JSON.stringify({ encrypted: false, items: x})
    );
    Export to Bitwarden JSON - Advanced

    This code can be used to save your tokens as a JSON file, for example to import into Bitwarden.
    It will create an Imported from Authy folder, and import your TOTP codes in there.

Following these steps worked perfectly on MacOS 14.4.1 on Authy Desktop 2.2.3. I had 2.5.0 installed but uninstalled it prior. I used Export to JSON and was migrated to 2FAS in < 10 minutes. THANK YOU!

Sorry, but that's not how things work in life. Neither Authy, nor anybody else has ever been hacked. The invisible bogeyman in a basement is nothing more than a clever excuse of a lie. Shakespeare once said: "The world is a stage and we all are the unwilling actors in it."
The real issue is that the world's rulers are ready to move to the next step of enslavement - one universal digital ID. That will abolish among all the other things we use daily, also passwords as we know them. Things like 2FA give us the freedom of anonymity, which is a total no, no for them. Paper money as well. The illusion of an invisible, or well "identified" external/distant enemy force to blame is a big part of their Hegelian dialectic. Without us voluntarily accepting - no questions asked - the lies in each and every media source this game would have failed.
It is not a matter of money, they print them as they please for heaven's sake, but it is a matter of a total control!!!!
When Authy started, that part of the plan was not activated yet. By Authy's own words nobody was forced to update the Android and PC apps and was given a "guarantee to work for life". One of many options, convenient at that time since it had developed apps for all platforms.
Few years later the rulers are changing the game and all players must obey, they even have been given false promise to become a part of the privileged once. That is the reason way Authy desktop was suddenly discontinued and now slowly blocked. Computers - in measure of the possessed knowledge - can give freedom. Android and iPhone devices are simple, under-powered toys, kept in a total control by their producers/OS developers.

I'm getting an error message after entering my phone number:

Attestation token is missing

Any idea how to work around this?

I can't proceed past the phone number entry screen.

UPDATE:

Error still happening on Windows OS devices if its brand new / a reinstall.

I was already logged in to Authy via macOS before the issue occurred for "Attestation token is missing" and then followed the steps to uninstall 3.0.0 then install 2.2.3 and it kept the login info for authy so I didn't have to re-authenticate with the phone number, thus allowing me to bypass the "Attestation token is missing" error.

From there, I was able to export everything doing the instructions.

Having the same "attestation token is missing" error. Probably an issue with twillo invalidating previous authy versions so people don't use them after the app gets discontinued.

For anyone trying this on windows, this is what worked for me recently:

  • Enable multi device for authy on my phone
  • Install the 3.0 desktop authy client from chocolatey (https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/authy-desktop/)
  • Get logged in and set up on the desktop client so that you can see the current OTP codes (not the lock symbol)
  • Uninstall the 3.0.0 desktop authy client
  • Install the 2.2.3 desktop authy client from chocolatey (https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/authy-desktop/2.2.3 or choco install authy-desktop --version=2.2.3)
  • DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET AFTER OPENING 2.2.3 AND BEFORE IT POPS THE UPDATE DIALOG
  • The update dialog will block the program and you can't use the chrome remote debugger in the later steps
  • Start from step 2

nope

I'm getting the error with version 3.0.0, afaik that's the current release.

Looks like she's dead.

doesnt seem to work anymore.
i tried it on macOS with version 2.2.3: "attestation token is missing"
then i tried it on windows 11, installed version 3.0 with chocolatey - but i get the same message if i want to login with my phonenumber:
"attestation token is missing"

i assume these apps used twilios terrible and unsave API and now that everyone knows about it, they just deactivated the API and discontinue the desktop apps?
well, it looks like i have to move my 35 items by hand.

Since I’ve been seeing some comments that this isn’t working, please don’t lose hope: I was able to get this to work today (05 July 2024) by following Ente’s instructions, despite having the most recent version of Authy installed on my Mac (3.something). I downloaded the older 2.2.3 version and replaced the newer end-of-life’d version of the app with this older version. I disabled automatic app updates (instructions at the Ente link), and used the remote debugging port per the instructions, and was able to use Dev Tools with a snippet to export. Flawlessly imported into another app.

I’ll distinguish this to be helpful to the community, because BitGrub’s toxic comment wasn’t:

If you are a brand new user to Authy Desktop like BitGrub apparently is, you cannot start now, it won’t work. However, if you have Authy Desktop installed and have been using it, even though you’re on the new 3.x/EOL version, you can successfully downgrade (while staying logged in) and export your tokens as of today. If you scroll up in the thread, many people are experiencing success with this process. No separate, additional login process or “attestation token” issue arises in that instance. Good luck.

Adding to @webster 's comment, if you've used Authy Desktop in the past, DON'T CLEAN UNINSTALL it, since you'll need to log in again, and won't be able to. Simply downgrade the binary.

The irony that I wanted to switch away from Authy because of the recent vulnerable API, only to find that I can't probably because they fixed that API (by introducing some kind of auth token?) which affected their desktop apps (the only way to export the tokens), but since the apps are end-of-life, they won't update them to work with the fixed API :(. This makes me want to switch from them even more.

wow so lucky i still have the old authy desktop (on windows). so i opened and it told me it will get upgraded to v3.0. panic mode.
anyway i proceed with download the old version 2.2.3, then install, then disconnect from wifi. then follow the above processes from aaronbrooks-gh
i got all the secret codes

Thanks a lot. Perfectly worked. I imported it into 2FAS with "Export to JSON format (2FSA / Raivo)" option.
I'm already got Authy Desktop in my Windows beforehand btw.

after following this guide and importing these keys into a new auth app (ente auth in my case) is it safe to completely remove my authy account fully without losing the 2FA codes?

kins43 commented Jul 6, 2024

@DarknesEagleX The codes should match up exactly since they are both using the same secret key.

Login to a handful accounts with the ente auth codes to validate it works. Personally I went through and just compared each one and then tested. If everything looks good then delete

For those without a logged in desktop Authy, there's still hope

I also had no previously logged in desktop Authy client and couldn't get it to log in (attestation token is missing).

However I found an alternative solution -

I had an old Android phone to hand and following these steps, managed to get working QR codes for all the tokens.

  1. Install the latest Authy from the Play Store and log in. If you are already rooted and get integrity errors -

  2. Enter your backup password and ensure all tokens are decrypted (no red padlocks)

  3. Root the Android if not already rooted and enable USB debugging

  4. Install the Android platform tools on your machine (with homebrew on mac):

    brew install android-platform-tools
  5. Create a python virtualenv:

    python -m venv authy-extract
    cd authy-extract
    . bin/activate
  6. Clone https://github.com/puddly/android-otp-extractor

  7. Install the tool into the venv

    cd android-otp-extractor
    python -m pip install -e .
  8. Connect the Android by USB

  9. Run the tool:

    python -m android_otp_extractor --prepend-issuer --include authy
  10. A browser window will open with QR codes for your tokens.

Tested with Python 3.12.3 (homebrew) on MacOS 14.5.

Time Machine is able to recover Authy Desktop logged-in state

tldr; Even if you're logged out, you can use TimeMachine backups to recreate the logged-in state of the Authy Desktop Application

I had clean uninstalled everything related to the Authy Desktop. But I was able to get this to work by copying over files from a backup.

The oldest backup had Authy Desktop 2.3.0 installed. From the backup I restored two items:

~/Library/Preferences/com.authy.authy-mac.plist
~/Library/Application Support/Authy Desktop

Then I downloaded the 2.3.3 binary linked above, followed the instructions, and everything worked like a charm. The desktop app launched, didn't require me to login, didn't try to update, and the scripts pulled all the data into importable jsons.

Good luck!!

They didn't disable login via phone number. It's just that now they're using Play Integrity's attestation in hopes to prevent abuse.

I'm not sure how this worked out. From what i tested no rooted android device will work because it will not meet integrity settings. I tested on rooted android 11 device. You won't be able to log in because "the device does not meet minimum integrity settings"
I hope authy will let people export the tokens at some point...

It's working fine on rooted devices, even reinstalling authy works magisk + MagiskHidePropsConf + PlayIntegrityFix + playcurl put authy on deny list

I have enabled denylist too with exact same setup. Magisk + playintergirty fix + authy on deny list. What authy version are you using?
It fails with "device does not meet minimum integrity requirements". Apps that are used to check for integrity suggest that playintegrityfix is working correctly.

Play Integrity API checker marks all checkboxes except MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY

UPDATE:
Refreshed cache, killed apps and rebooted.
It worked. Thank you for the tip with denylist. It was the issue. I'm not android user so i was not aware. I'm glad i even made it to magisk step and patching boot.

Yes. I was just able to extract ALL tokens without a single error. Android 11. Authy 26.1.0 from apkmirror. So the python tool should be still able to support the current data structure. Unless there's some sort of keychain in higher android versions and that's why it might not be working (i'm not aware of how android works)

Here is beginning of the debug output:

2024-07-09 03:07:25 DESKTOP android_otp_extractor.adb[43216] DEBUG Trying to read file $ANDROID_DATA/data/com.authy.authy/shared_prefs/com.authy.storage.tokens.authenticator.xml

These paths look similar to the ones in your issue. So the keys are located in the same location regardless of android version.
