A hundred accounts, one paste

One link, a list of them, or a Google Authenticator transfer link — the same field reads all three.

How it works

1. 1Export from your old app. More of them can than people expect, and several write out a plain list of otpauth:// links.
2. 2Open Settings → Paste links and paste the whole thing at once. A .txt file of the same links goes through Import instead.
3. 3Read what it tells you. Added, already here, and — by line number — anything it could not use.

Why this is safe

A list of otpauth:// links is the most sensitive text you will ever paste anywhere: every line is a seed that generates codes for that account forever. It is worth being exact about where it goes.

None of this has to be taken on trust. The code that decides what happens to a pasted list is one readable file: read it on GitHub.

Send someone a code, not your account

A link carries up to an hour of ready-made codes and never your secret key. Whoever you send it to opens it in any browser — nothing to install, no account to make. When the hour is up, there is nothing left in the link to show.

The share button beside an account makes the link. Add a password and send it by another route — on its own, neither half opens anything.

Also in this release

• Export every account as plain otpauth:// links, one per line, in a text file almost any other authenticator can read. What the export writes is exactly what the import takes back — there is a test holding the two together.
• Coloured initials beside your accounts, off by default in Settings — and every account's full name on hover, in every view.
• At the smallest window size the compact row gives its width back to the account name, so two accounts on the same service stop looking identical.
• Choose where the extension opens: the popup, a floating window, or Chrome's side panel. The window and the panel stay open while you switch tabs and applications — a popup closes the moment it loses focus, which is exactly the wrong behaviour when the code has to stay in front of you while you type it.
• When you make a share link you choose the name shown above the code — the account's own by default, or nothing at all when the person opening it has no business knowing which service it is for.
• Add account, Edit and Share open as full screens with a back arrow instead of dialogs, and the first-run guide folds its fallback steps away so the button that ends each path stays in view.
• Fixes: in Arabic the settings switches drew their knob outside the track, and in languages with a longer name for this app the header pushed its own icons past the edge and cut off the gear.
• Settings ends with the version number, so answering “which version are you on?” no longer means leaving the popup to find out.
