Importing from Aegis Authenticator

Aegis is a popular open-source 2FA manager for Android. Migrating your accounts from Aegis to Flauth is simple and efficient.

Recommended Method: URI List Import

This method allows you to migrate all accounts at once using Flauth’s local import feature.

Step 1: Export from Aegis

1. Open Aegis on your Android device.
2. Tap the Settings (gear icon) or the three-dot menu.
3. Go to Import / Export.
4. Select Export.
5. Choose Plain-text JSON or Plain-text URI list.
   • Note: Flauth prefers the URI list for direct compatibility.
6. Tap Export to file and save it to your device.

Step 2: Prepare the file

Flauth recognizes files with the .flauth extension.

1. Locate the file you just exported (usually named aegis-export-....txt or .json).
2. Rename the file extension to .flauth. For example: otpauth-backup.flauth.

Step 3: Import into Flauth

1. Open Flauth.
2. Go to Backup & Restore from the home screen menu.
3. Switch to the Local File tab.
4. Tap Import from File.
5. Select your .flauth file.
6. Flauth will display a message confirming how many new accounts were imported.

Alternative Method: QR Code (One-by-one)

If you only have a few accounts, you can scan them individually:

1. In Aegis, long-press an account and select Show QR code.
2. In Flauth, tap the [+] button on the home screen.
3. Select Scan QR Code and scan the screen.

⚠️ Security Note

After a successful import, please immediately and securely delete the plain-text export file from Aegis, as it contains your unencrypted 2FA secrets.
