Option to automatically back or export keys to set folder.

This is one issue I've dealt with in past, where unexpected OS crash or mobile, I was not able to recover the keys from authenticator apps.

Since the app uses windows credential locker it will still contain keys even if there is a crash or app is uninstalled the keys will still remain for a while. An auto backup feature does sound interesting nevertheless

I just reinstalled my Windows 11 (latest version) by resetting it using cloud download, after signing in and installing Protecc, all of my TOTPs were already there, didn't have to use the backup yaml.

checked credential manager in Windows, all of the TOTPs were in the web credentials section.

maybe if i clean installed it stuff from credential manager would be gone. so not sure 100% that they are synced or not.
