[Feature proposal] Generate QR images/ from existing entries #320

It would be nice to be able to generate QR codes for reading from another device. I store my MFA keys both on a Firefox plugin and my phone. The Firefox plugin ("Authenticator") is able to generate a QR code of the stored MFA keys, which lets me copy them to FreeOTP on my phone.

FreeOTP though can't generate QR codes so I can't read QR codes only on it back to Firefox.

If this feature sounds like it makes sense & if PRs are merged in this project, I could look into contributing this feature myself.

I just switched to a new phone and with it to a new OTP application, FreeOTP. The one i came from did let me generate QR-codes so i could simply move all my tokens over. Having this feature does not just allow sharing a token on multiple devices it also allows people to change their OTP app, away from FreeOTP if they feel like.

Would be cool to have that feature!
