What Hacker News says

> One small caveat is this script creates ‘secrets.txt’ in the same directory so anyone can open that file and access your codes. I am planning to add some level of encryption to that in future. If you have any idea/suggestions send me PR here is the repository. pass-otp(1)[0] already has encryption ready; and it also adds another warning: > This method is provided as a means to transport your TOTP tokens to other devices, disconnected from your single factor authentication part. If you add those secrets into the same basket of eggs, you will be defeating the whole purpose of the multi factor authentication[1] mantra. Please think it through before running this migration.
