Yes. A reminder. One may blindly export and with a false sense of confidence factory reset their phone only to realize their fault when restoring.

I think that's sufficient. Bonus if can be reset.

Wow, I’ve just been bit by this. This is horrible UX! These keys are some of the most important pieces of data, being able to export them without hidden traps is absolutely vital.
Unless this is fixed soon, I won’t be recommending this app anymore and switch to a different OTP store.

@neutronscott @Profpatsch Will requesting confirmation of the backup password at the time of creating the backup be enough to address this issue?

When you first install FreeOTP it asks for a password and instructs the user to retain and remember the password because it will be needed to restore any future backup.

I've been using it for years. It was restored. This is merely a request to make the UX better.

@neutronscott
Yep, there is no way that FreeOTP didn't ask you for a password. You should try to restore your 2FA accounts through the backup codes that you were supposed to write down when you enabled 2FA.

Ok, now I get it. You suggest having to enter your password a second time when setting it up, right?

I really don't like these "blame the user" answers here. :(

Well, maybe it's time to try writing java. I'm sure the team would welcome a PR.

If there is a roadmap for the general design I believe in, then there are several recruiters that believe my Java skills are till there. I already looked and I think I could even do it. :)
In case there is no roadmap, should I make a PR for that first?
