Recovery method if iOS app were to disappear #54

If 2FAS were to disappear from the iOS App Store, is there a documented way to decrypt the encrypted .2fas backup files? I'm aware the project is open source, but, if I didn't want to wait, or trust someone else to create a new app from the source code, it would be nice to have an option available. Creating a test encrypted .2fas file and extracting the contents to know it can be done would be nice. Thanks!

@aChrisYouKnow Hi, that's why this project is open-source. We're not planning a separate tool for that right now, but as this is industry standard AES-GCM encryption and code is available, then the community should have no problem in creating such a tool.

FYI, such a community based tool already exists: https://github.com/wodny/decrypt-2fas-backup

@adocyn @hwmaier clearing out some flagged e-mails and I see I never circled back to say thanks for the useful responses. Appreciate it!
