Add sync, or possible way to copy the data file, or 2FA codes. #8

Hi there, I am trying your Firefox Addon on my ubuntu 16.04 laptop... and now the HD SMART is showing warning of imminent problem, so I need to copy (one way sync) the codes to my other desktop machine so not to loose my ability to log in into my accounts. So in lack of a sync capability, or an interface to read and copy (or export/import) the file or codes, I would need to know where is a file I can copy over or read to get my 2FA TOTP codes out? I tried to search about Firefox AddOns standard location and find the local profile folder and your code, but I could not find the data store, and since my HD could fail any time soon, I prefer no waste time and ask you directly. Thank you very much. Sincerely Mark

On the options page, there should be a button below the configured sites labeled "Export". Clicking it should prompt you to download a file with your configuration which you can then import to your other machine.

Wow... talking about been blind... I thought I looked well. That works for me, and I guess I have to apologize for writing "..., or an interface to read and copy (or export/import) the file or codes...", which, obviously as you pointed out to me, it is not correct. External sync would be nice... perhaps at a later date when file is encrypted, so if we can close this for now. Thank you

How hard would it be to add Firefox Sync to store the database file? It works great with ublock origin config.
