As a new and somewhat confused user, I’ve been using Passport #1 for years, I’m very happy with it, and I wanted to contribute to the product’s development.
So, I thought to myself, I’ll be able to make the switch to multisig, 2FA management, and password management…
But I can’t link my Prime to the Sparrow wallet… I can’t import my 2FA to Prime,
I managed to create a new one, that’s all, and I was able to link it to Envoy. But for now it’s useless; I can’t use it.

Hey sorry to hear about the troubles you’ve faced.
Sparrow - When you say you can’t, are you seeing errors? Where exactly in the process are you getting stuck? We’ll be making this much easier to discover in the next big release, but for now the current export flow:
Open Bitcoin wallet app > Tap on account > Account details > Three dots > Connect wallet
The next release KeyOS v1.3 will also bring support for bulk importation of 2FA codes. Right not they can only be connected 1-by-1.
Just thinking ahead for the v1.3 release and importation of bulk 2FA codes. I currently use Authy but have slowly been migrating over to Prime, I have moved about a dozen 2FA’s. I figured I would wait and bulk import everything else when ready and give me some time to get used to reaching for Prime for the 2FA codes, plus no time to go through each one individually and change settings. I suppose we have to go through and be sure to have deleted all the accounts we have in fact moved. Question - when doing the bulk import will the Prime STOP & Request CONFIRM before overwriting with and old no longer valid account?
No overwrites. We just mark duplicates and let the user handle it for now.
Hey @pugpack33 - I have just downloaded Authy and added some codes to it to check whether our planned 1.3.0 implementation for Passport Prime works with it, but I was not able to find a way to export the codes, and upon looking up online it seems that I wasn’t doing anything wrong - for the looks of it you cannot export the secret from authy, it’s one of those service that lock you in, like Microsoft Authenticator. This means you would not be able to mass export your 2FA codes over to Passport Prime.
Which then, begs the question - how have you been manually exporting these so far? The only way of doing it AFAIK is going to the original service (google, facebook, whichever service the 2FA code was for) and re-exporting if allowed, or re-setting them up.
Authy does have a setting to allow for multi-device and a user is able to create a backup key in the event of a device loss. Was not sure how Foundation was planning to allow for bulk import of 2FA’s with v1.3, that is beyond my paygrade, but if it is not going to be possible then at least I know what I have to do over time and no need to wait for v1.3. To date the only way to get the 2FA’s into prime, is as you described, to actually go into settings in each application, respectively, and change the 2FA device. I have NOT deleted anything from Authy I just don’t use it for the accounts for which I changed to Prime. That is why I was wondering if an account that exists on two devices, the first being obsolete but not deleted would not accidently replace the newer or current version that was replaced with Prime. But since you are saying import from Authy will NOT be possible then for me this is a non issue. But anyone reading this should have comfort that overwriting an existing and current account on Prime will not be accidentally overwritten when bulk import becomes available.
Yeah so Authy’s Multi-device thing allows you to set up more than one phone/tablet on the same authy account (source). But that would be downloading the authy app on another phone and logging in there.
This means that unless Authy builds an app for Passport Prime and they allow logging in from there as one of the trusted devices, this multi-device feature wouldn’t really be helpful to get the codes out of the phone and into Passport Prime. I assume they would also have to build the bluetooth integration to their app, so you could install authy on a phone, then log in from Passport Prime - again, possible, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for this to happen, as I don’t think they are aware of our existence (yet! 
).
But also yes, confirming we don’t overwrite codes, we would import them and if the same name exists with a different secret we would change the name to “[IMPORT] Facebook” for example, to the imported one
