dchapkine / extract-google-authenticator-credentials Goto Github PK

I have the file previously backed up through smart-switch, but no recover codes assuming a backup is a BACKUP.
I'd rather not root my note9 if I can get away with it?

Can you make a walkthrough of how to get the data file located on a pc into useable qr codes?

QR codes return unsupported keys. I tried adding several to Google Authenticator after extracting them from LastPass Authenticator with your scripts. While it appears that the data dumps just fine, it does not generate a usable QR code as the Google Authenticator reports unsupported key.

The app itself has a feature to import/export to a QR code.

How is this different?

Since you have a root shell you can copy the file to a location that adb pull can access.

adb shell
# Now you're on the phone
su  # and do any auth action your root requires
cp  /data/data/com.google.android.apps.authenticator2/databases/databases /sdcard/Download/
exit
exit
# Now you're back on the computer
adb pull /sdcard/Download/databases

This is just a confirmation. The readme can be updated with this info. WSL doesn't detect adb over usb out of the box and some symlinks have to be created, but adb over wifi works fine

Thank you for your awesome script! You helped me a lot to recreate my data for google authenticator I extracted from a twrp backup.

There's something I came across when I ran ./server.sh
All the qr-codes are shown except the one that has umlauts in the email and also in the issuer. (in this example it is the letter 'ü')

The umlaut is broken and there is no qr code. I managed to create a working qr code using the data from the dump.

If you have a key like this: AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD (note the space)
The QR code is generated as AAAA%20BBBB%20CCCC%20DDDD

nc -l localhost 2001 works, while nc -l -p 2001 gave me: nc: missing port with option -l
