📖 Key Migration Guides

🗺️ Google Authenticator (GA) Migration

Since GA does not support direct file export, follow these steps:

1. In the GA app on your phone, tap "Transfer accounts" -> "Export accounts".
2. In the NodeAuth import interface, scan the generated QR codes.
3. Multi-page Handling: If you have many accounts, GA will show multiple pages (1/3, 2/3...). NodeAuth supports continuous scan caching; simply scan all pages and merge with one click.

🗺️ Microsoft Authenticator Migration

For Android users with root access, you can export and upload the database files from:

• /data/data/com.azure.authenticator/databases/PhoneFactor
• It is recommended to also upload the accompanying -wal and -shm files.

🗺️ Steam Guard Migration

If you use Steam Desktop Authenticator (SDA):

1. Locate your .maFile files (found in SDA's maFiles directory).
2. Drag these files directly into the NodeAuth import area. The system will automatically extract the Steam shared secrets and generate codes.

⚠️ Important Migration Notes

• Automated Deduplication: The system identifies duplicates based on secrets and account names. Existing accounts will be skipped to keep your vault clean.
• Zero-Knowledge Decryption: For encrypted backups (like 2FAS or Aegis), all decryption happens locally in your browser. Your password never leaves your device.
• Emergency Recovery Pack: If you export a PDF or backup containing encryption keys, keep it safe. This file is essential for disaster recovery.
• Import Report: After the operation, the system displays a real-time report of "Success", "Skipped", and "Failed" items for easy troubleshooting.
• Further Help: For complex format issues, refer to the Disaster Recovery Guide.
