How to migrate from another authenticator app?

Common case

It is suggested to use Flipper Authenticator Companion app to import tokens from Google Authenticator, Bitwarden, Aegis Authenticator, FreeOTP+ Authenticator or 2FAS Authenticator as it has built-in support for those authenticators. Also it has support of URI list file import, which some authenticators can export tokens as. So before trying some manual or 3rd party approaches try to use Flipper Authenticator Companion app first.

If Flipper Authenticator Companion app doesn't support your authenticator, then it depends on whether another authenticator app allows you to get plain token secret somehow or not. If it allows then you may take that secret and just add it to Flipper Authenticator as usual. If another app does not allow you to get plain token secret then unfortunately there is nothing what Flipper Authenticator can do on this. Details may depend on concrete app but in any case - plain token secret is a thing which you need to get somehow to be able to use Flipper Authenticator.
