The Python script extract_otp_secrets.py extracts 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 read in three ways:
- Capture the QR codes with the system camera using a GUI, 🆕
- Read image files containing the QR codes, and 🆕
- Read text files containing the QR code data generated by third-party QR readers.
The secrets can be exported to JSON or CSV, or printed as QR codes to console or saved as PNG.
⚡ This project/script was renamed from extract_otp_secret_keys to extract_otp_secrets. ⚡

- Download executable for your platform from latest release, see assets
- Linux and macOS: Set executable bit for the downloaded file, e.g in terminal with
chmod +x extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_OS_ARCH - Start executable by clicking or from command line (macOS: startable only from command line, see below)
✔️ Everything is just packed in one executable.
✔️ No installation needed, neither Python nor any dependencies have to be installed.
✔️ Easy and convenient
ℹ️ There is a delay after starting the executable since the files have internally to be unpacked.
ℹ️ If you are a developer, you might prefer to run the Python script directly, see Installation
⚠️ Some antivirus tools may show a virus or trojan alert for the executable. This alert is a false positive. This is a known problem for executables generated by PyInstaller. If you have any doubt, please use directly the Python script.
ℹ️ The executables are not signed. Thus, the operating system may show a warning about download from unknown source.
Beginning in macOS 10.15, all software built after June 1, 2019, and distributed with Developer ID must be notarized. However, you aren’t required to notarize software that you distribute through the Mac App Store because the App Store submission process already includes equivalent security checks. developer.apple.com
❌ Unfortunately, I cannot provide a signed and notarized installable application for macOS as .dmg or .pkg. Apple is not Open Source friendly and requires a yearly Developer ID subscription. I am not willing to pay USD 99 per year to Apple for this little open source tool.
However, the bare executable can be executed from the command line:
- Download executable for macOS platform from latest release, see assets
- Open
Terminalapplication - Change to Downloads folder in Terminal:
cd $HOME/Downloads - Remove quarantine bit for the downloaded file:
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64 - Set executable bit for the downloaded file:
chmod +x extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64 - Start executable from command line for the first time:
./extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64 - Wait approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute on the first run. Terminal will display the following error:
OpenCV: not authorized to capture video (status 0), requesting... OpenCV: camera failed to properly initialize! - macOS will then prompt to request camera access.
- After allowing camera access, rerun the program.
- On the second run, the GUI prompt shows correctly and is fully operable:
./extract_otp_secrets_X.Y.Z_macos_x86_64
ℹ️ Replace X.Y.Z in above commands with the version number of your downloaded file, e.g. extract_otp_secrets_2.4.0_macos_x86_64
ℹ️ If Rosetta2 emulation is installed, these steps work also for M1 and M2 Apple Silicon processors and the program can be executed directly.
Tested with extract_otp_secrets_2.8.1_macos_x86_64 on macOS Sequoia 15.1 beta. Source: #283
- Open "Google Authenticator" app on the mobile phone
- Export the QR codes from "Google Authenticator" app (see how to export)
- Point the exported QR codes to the camera of your computer
- Run the program without infile parameters:
extract_otp_secrets
Detected QR codes are surrounded with a frame. The color of the frame indicates the extracting result:
- Green: The QR code is detected, decoded and the OTP secret was successfully extracted.
- Red: The QR code is detected and decoded, but could not be successfully extracted. This is the case if a QR code not containing OTP data is captured.
- Magenta: The QR code is detected, but could not be decoded. The QR code should be presented better to the camera or another QR reader could be used.
Key commands:
- Space: change QR code reader
- C: save as csv file (🆕 since v2.2)
- J: save as json file (🆕 since v2.2)
- K: save as KeePass csv file (🆕 since v2.2)

For reading QR codes with ZBAR QR reader, the zbar library must be installed.
If you do not use the ZBAR QR reader, you do not need to install the zbar shared library. Note: The ZBAR QR reader is the showed for me the best results and is thus default QR Reader.
For a detailed installation documentation of pyzbar.
sudo apt-get install libzbar0
sudo zypper install libzbar0
sudo dnf install zbar
pacman -S zbar
brew install zbar
The zbar DLLs are included with the Windows Python wheels. However, you might need additionally to install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013. Install vcredist_x64.exe if using 64-bit Python, vcredist_x86.exe if using 32-bit Python. For more information see pyzbar
OpenCV requires Visual C++ redistributable 2015. For more information see opencv-python

KeePass 2.51 (released in May 2022) and newer support the generation of OTPs (TOTP and HOTP).
KeePass can generate the second factor password (2FA) if the OTP secret is stored in TimeOtp-Secret-Base32 string field for TOTP or HmacOtp-Secret-Base32 string field for HOTP. You view or edit them in entry dialog on the 'Advanced' tab page.
KeePass provides menu commands in the main window for generating one-time passwords ('Copy HMAC-Based OTP', 'Show HMAC-Based OTP', 'Copy Time-Based OTP', 'Show Time-Based OTP'). Furthermore, one-time passwords can be generated during auto-type using the {HMACOTP} and {TIMEOTP} placeholders.
In order to simplify the usage of the second factor password generation in KeePass a specific KeePass CSV export is available with option -keepass or -k. This KeePass CSV file can be imported by the "Generic CSV Importer" of KeePass.
If TOTP and HOTP entries have to be exported, then two files with an intermediate suffix .totp or .hotp will be added to the KeePass export filename.
Example:
- Only TOTP entries to export and parameter --keepass example_keepass_output.csv
→ example_keepass_output.csv with TOTP entries will be exported - Only HOTP entries to export and parameter --keepass example_keepass_output.csv
→ example_keepass_output.csv with HOTP entries will be exported - If both TOTP and HOTP entries to export and parameter --keepass example_keepass_output.csv
→ example_keepass_output.totp.csv with TOTP entries will be exported
→ example_keepass_output.hotp.csv with HOTP entries will be exported
Import CSV with TOTP entries in KeePass as
- Title
- User Name
- String (TimeOtp-Secret-Base32)
- Group (/)
Import CSV with HOTP entries in KeePass as
- Title
- User Name
- String (HmacOtp-Secret-Base32)
- String (HmacOtp-Counter)
- Group (/)
KeePass can be used as a backup for one time passwords (second factor) from the mobile phone.

The script is covered by pytests, see extract_otp_secrets_test.py.
Run tests:
pytest
or
python -m pytest
Your tests can run against an installed version after executing pip install .
Your tests can run against the local copy with an editable install after executing pip install --editable .
If you don’t use an editable install and are relying on the fact that Python by default puts the current directory in sys.path to import your package, you can execute python -m pytest to execute the tests against the local copy directly, without using pip.
https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/explanation/pythonpath.html#pytest-vs-python-m-pytest
There are some unittests, see extract_otp_secrets_txt_unit_test.py.
Run tests:
python -m unittest
Note the pytests are preferred and complete. For each unittest there is also a test in pytest.
Setup for running the tests in VSCode.
- Open VSCode command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P)
- Type command "Python: Configure Tests"
- Choose unittest or pytest. (pytest is recommended, both are supported)
- Set ". Root" directory

The export QR code of "Google Authenticator" contains the URL otpauth-migration://offline?data=….
The data parameter is a base64 encoded proto3 message (Google Protocol Buffers).
Command for regeneration of Python code from proto3 message definition file (only necessary in case of changes of the proto3 message definition or new protobuf versions):
protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-mypy=path/to/protoc-gen-mypy --python_out=src/protobuf_generated_python --mypy_out=src/protobuf_generated_python src/google_auth.proto
The generated protobuf Python code was generated by protoc 28.3 (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/tag/v28.3).
For Python type hint generation the mypy-protobuf package is used.
- Proto3 documentation: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/pythontutorial
- Template code: beemdevelopment/Aegis#406
- Segmentation fault on macOS with CV2 4.7.0: opencv/opencv#23072 (fixed)
- CV2 window does not show icons: opencv/opencv-python#585
If you see an ugly ImportError on Windows you will most likely need the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013. Install vcredist_x64.exe if using 64-bit Python, vcredist_x86.exe if using 32-bit Python.
This library shared library is required by pyzbar.
