Where Does andOTP Store Backups and How to Migrate?
andOTP keeps tokens encrypted on device with keys split into Android KeyStore, so only its internal backups (plain, password, or OpenPGP) migrate safely. Third party app backups cause data loss.
Last updated
andOTP splits secrets from keys by design. Token data encrypts with part of the key in Android KeyStore, which means file copies without the key decrypt nothing. Only the app internal backup and export functions produce migratable files.
That architecture kills common backup habits. Titanium style app backups restore encrypted blobs without keys, guaranteeing loss. Export early and encrypted, verify decrypts on PC tools, and treat the authenticator as the fragile link during phone moves.
Where andOTP stores this, by platform
andOTP internal backup directory (user set)
Internal JSON and AES exports plus auto backups to your set directory. Never rely on third party app backups. Migrate with Aegis import option.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move andOTP to Aegis?
Use andOTP internal export to encrypted JSON then import in Aegis with the andOTP option. Password protected formats decrypt with WebDecrypt or andotp tools on PC. Manual QR re entry works when exports misbehave.
How do I automate andOTP backups?
Enable automatic encrypted backups to your chosen directory in settings, since they need no remembering. Broadcast receivers allow Tasker automation with KeyStore encryption. Test restores before wiping old phones.
