Extract one time password (OTP) secrets from QR codes exported by two-factor authentication (2FA) apps such as "Google Authenticator". The exported QR codes from authentication apps can be captured by camera, read from images, or read from text files. The secrets can be exported to JSON or CSV, or printed as QR codes to console.
However, the bare executable can be executed from the command line:
1. Download executable for macOS platform from [latest release](https://github.com/scito/extract_otp_secrets/releases/latest), see assets
2. Open Terminal application
3. Change to Downloads folder in Terminal: cd $HOME/Downloads
4. Set executable bit for the downloaded file: chmod +x extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64
5. Start executable from command line: ./extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64
After step (4), I believe you should recommend (require?) xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64. Otherwise, Apple may still keep it in quarantine and not allow it to execute.
