Azokle Auth — Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Azokle Auth?

Azokle Auth is a free, secure and open source 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) app for Android, built as part of the Azokle ecosystem. It stores your one-time passwords (OTPs) in an encrypted vault on your device.

Is Azokle Auth open source?

Yes. Azokle Auth is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. The source code is available at github.com/azoklesoftware/azokle-authenticator.

Is Azokle Auth free?

Yes. Azokle Auth is completely free with no ads, no tracking and no in-app purchases.

Security & Encryption

How does Azokle Auth protect my tokens?

All tokens are stored in an encrypted vault using AES-256-GCM. The vault key is derived from your password using scrypt. Without the correct password, the vault contents cannot be read.

Can I use biometrics instead of a password?

Yes. You can enable biometric unlock (fingerprint or face) in Settings → Security → Biometric unlock. Biometrics are backed by the Android KeyStore and wrapped against the master key.

What happens if I forget my password?

There is no password recovery mechanism. If you forget your password and have no backup, you will permanently lose access to your tokens. We strongly recommend setting up automatic backups.

Is Azokle Auth compatible with cloud backup?

Azokle Auth supports Android's cloud backup system for encrypted vaults (device-to-device transfers are always available). You can also configure automatic encrypted backups to any location supported by Android's Storage Access Framework (e.g., Nextcloud).

Importing & Exporting

What apps can I import from?

Azokle Auth supports importing from:

  • 2FAS Authenticator
  • andOTP
  • Authy (requires root)
  • Authenticator Plus
  • Authenticator Pro
  • Battle.net Authenticator (requires root)
  • Bitwarden
  • Duo Mobile (requires root)
  • Ente Auth

  • Microsoft Authenticator (requires root)
  • Plain text (otpauth:// URIs)
  • Steam (v2.x, requires root)

Can I export my vault?

Yes. You can export the vault in the following formats from Settings → Import & Export → Export:

  • AzokleAuth (.JSON) — Encrypted or plain text
  • Text file (.TXT) — Plain text Google Authenticator URIs
  • Web page (.HTML) — QR codes viewable in a browser

Troubleshooting

My codes are incorrect. What do I do?

Azokle Auth relies on the system clock. Make sure automatic time synchronization is enabled on your device (Settings → Date & time → Automatic date & time).

The app says it can't write to the backup destination.

This usually happens after restoring Azokle Auth from a backup or if you renamed/moved the backup folder. Go to Settings → Backups → Backup location and re-select the destination.

Biometric unlock stopped working.

If you recently changed your device's security settings (PIN, password, enrolled fingerprints), biometric unlock may be invalidated. Go to Settings → Security → Biometric unlock, disable it, and re-enable it.
