Where Does OTP Auth Store Tokens on iPhone?

OTP Auth keeps encrypted tokens in its iOS container, with optional encrypted backups you control.

Last updated

OTP Auth encrypts tokens inside its iOS container, with the encryption password you set guarding exports and sync. There is no account in the cloud holding a spare copy.

Migration depends on the backup you made beforehand. Encrypted file exports and iCloud sync both restore fully with the right password. A fresh install without either starts empty.

Where OTP Auth stores this, by platform

iOS
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents

Per install container path with the encrypted token store. Use the in app encrypted export before switching phones, and keep the export password apart from the file.

Frequently asked questions

how do i move otp auth to a new iphone

Export an encrypted backup from the old phone and import it on the new one with the same password. iCloud sync covers it automatically if you enabled it.

will deleting otp auth lose my codes

Yes, unless an encrypted export or sync exists. The container holds the only copy, so confirm a restorable backup before deleting.
