How to Export My Codes?

<p>At Koda, we believe in keeping your data safe, not holding it hostage. Whether you want to switch platforms or just keep a physical backup, you can export your 2FA codes whenever you want.</p> <p>Here is the step-by-step guide to exporting your codes:</p> <h3>Step-by-Step Export</h3> <ol> <li><strong>Log In:</strong> First, go to <a href="https://koda.cengel.studio">Koda</a> in your browser and log in to your account.</li> <li><strong>Open the Menu:</strong> If you are a Web or PWA (Progressive Web App) user, click on the <strong>User/Profile</strong> icon in the top right corner of the screen.</li> <li><strong>Select Export:</strong> Click the <strong>"Export codes"</strong> button in the menu that opens.</li> </ol> <blockquote> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Our Android and iOS mobile applications are still in the release phase. You can proceed using the browser on your mobile device or by using the PWA version.</p> </blockquote> <h3>Which Format Should I Choose?</h3> <p>When you reach the export page, you will see two different file format options. You can choose the one that best suits your needs:</p> <h4>1. .txt Format (Recommended)</h4> <p>This format provides your codes as plain text.</p> <ul> <li><strong>What is it for?</strong> This format is best when moving to a new Koda account or bulk importing your data into another Authenticator app (Google Auth, Authy, etc.).</li> <li><strong>File Structure:</strong> The file you download (e.g., <code>koda-codes-2025-11-23.txt</code>) is automatically named with the current date and consists of <code>otpauth</code> links:</li> </ul> <pre><code class="language-text">otpauth://totp/Cengel:[email protected]?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP&amp;period=30&amp;digits=6&amp;algorithm=SHA1&amp;issuer=ID otpauth://totp/Cengel:[email protected]?secret=XKW... </code></pre> <h4>2. .html Format</h4> <p>This format provides your codes as a visual document.</p> <ul> <li><strong>What is it for?</strong> When you open this file in a browser, you can see the generated <strong>QR codes</strong> for each of your accounts alongside the text-based otpauth links.</li> <li><strong>Use Case:</strong> If you want to move away from digital storage and create a physical backup (like printing it out and locking it in a safe), this format is ideal. You can scan the QR codes in this file one by one with your camera when switching to a new device.</li> </ul> <hr> <h3>Important Security Warning</h3> <p>These exported files are the keys to your digital identity.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Never</strong> leave the file on an insecure computer (internet cafe, shared computer, etc.) after downloading it.</li> <li>If you downloaded it solely to transfer to another app, <strong>delete the file permanently</strong> once the transfer is complete.</li> <li>If you intend to keep the file, we recommend storing it on an encrypted USB drive or in a secure cloud storage location.</li> </ul>
