In this instructional video, Techno from Troubleshoot guides viewers through exporting two-factor authentication (2FA) secret tokens from Authy into other programs such as KeepassXC. The process begins with installing Authy on a desktop, logging in, and managing encrypted backups. The creator discusses enabling remote debugging by adding specific code to the command line, and details how to retrieve and interact with application contents via `localhost:5858` in a browser. By copying a block of text from a GitHub page and executing it in the browser’s console, users can generate QR codes and strings of secret tokens, which are then saved as a JSON file for easy migration to other devices or applications. The video emphasizes compatibility with various platforms and ends with the creator’s thanks and sign-off.

In this part of the video, the creator, Techno from Troubleshoot, walks viewers through the process of exporting secret tokens from Authy. This is particularly useful for users who store passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens in programs like KeepassXC. The goal is to enable users to transfer their 2FA tokens to other devices or apps by generating QR codes from the secret tokens. The steps include installing Authy on a desktop, logging in with country and phone number details, and handling encrypted backups with a password. Additionally, viewers are guided to follow an open-source guide to complete the extraction of secrets for use in different software. Once the tokens are generated, the video instructs users to further configure Authy by modifying its desktop shortcut properties.

In this segment of the video, the creator explains how to enable remote debugging for an application by adding a specific line of code to the command line. They guide viewers on how to apply this setting and then instruct them to open the application ‘Authy’ and navigate to `localhost:5858` in a browser. The video provides steps to access the app’s contents, interact with it, and expand certain sections within the developer tools.
Next, the creator shows how to copy a block of text from a GitHub page and paste it into the browser’s console. This process generates QR codes and a string with secret tokens, necessary for migrating data to other platforms. The viewer is advised to save this data as a JSON file, which contains all the essential information to transfer authentication details to different devices or apps. The segment concludes with instructions on locating and utilizing the saved JSON file for migration purposes.
