Extract parameters for Time-based One-time Password from Google Authenticator [closed]

I have gadget with installed Google Authenticator for 2FA on different services.



Google Authenticator uses Time-based One-time Password(TOTP) for this.

This protocol uses time + sync digits for creating one time password.

Time value is synchronized via ntp-protocol.

Sync digits gets Google Authenticator via QR-Code or manual entry.



I was a little bit dumb, and haven't made any extra screenshots of QR-Codes nor backup of sync digits.



If i buy new/loose/destroy my gadget it will be very painful to restore access to all 2FA services.



So how can i extract/export QR-code/Sync digits for TOTP protocol from Google Authenticator for backup or other 2FA software with TOTP?






sync google-authenticator

  • You'll likely need to remove the 2fa from your account, providing at the removal page some additional detail indicating you are who you say you are. You can then re-apply 2fa and re-run the process on your new device. I've done something similar in the past with my Blizzard battle.net token, and it worked well.

  • It is not really helpful if you loses your phone. So creating backup of this data somewhere outside of my phone will be more useful.

    @Mokubai I think that you are wrong. Here I'm trying to get information about data extraction of one of the mos popular software for 2FA. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who would like to extract Data from Google Authenticator for backups/2FA token movement. I have not specified OS of mobile phone. GA also runs on other computers/Tablets/phones

  • Your final sentence (and title) specifically limits your question to phones running TOTP software. Edit your question to specify that you are looking to deal with Windows/Mac/Linux computers if you are looking for solutions on those platforms. Tablets based on smartphone operating systems are also off topic here.

How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application. Our sales organization demands that touch is an available feature when going live with the new POS environment.

QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

Image
1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
