Ente Auth vs Proton Authenticator — unclear points about local backup encryption

Questions
15

Thanks for your reply!

After doing more thorough testing (as I mentioned in my last update), I realized that the backups are indeed encrypted — which is great.

The manual exports are also encrypted. However, I haven’t found a way to generate a clear text export in Proton Auth, which would be useful for independent access.

I still have a couple of questions:

  1. Can you confirm that the only way to decrypt and access the encrypted backups is through the Proton Auth app? Or is it possible to use external tools if the password is known?

  2. Is there (or will there be) any option to create a clear text export, so that users can manually protect and store it for independent access?

Thanks again for clarifying!
