Keyloop features
🔢 Live 6-digit codes
Per-account countdown rings and click-to-copy with a clipboard that auto-clears.
➕ Add accounts three ways
Scan a QR screenshot, paste an otpauth:// URI, or type the secret manually, with SHA1/256/512, 6-8 digits and custom periods.
🔒 Encrypted local vault
scrypt key derivation into AES-256-GCM using Node built-in crypto; the master password is never stored and it auto-locks after five minutes idle.
💾 Encrypted .keyloop backups
One file, one password, restore anywhere.
🖨️ Printable QR paper backup
Every account as a QR code on one sheet for your safe or deposit box, the escape hatch Authy refuses to give you.
📥 Bulk migration
Paste an otpauth:// URI list from any other authenticator export.
🚫 Zero network
No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry; the app makes no network calls at all.
$19 once — that's the whole pricing page
1Password charges $2.99+/mo — roughly $36 a year, every year. Keyloop is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
Or get Keyloop inside the full suite — every app in the catalog, currently $97 for the bundle. See the bundle →

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes. Keyloop is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/2fa-authenticator-backup-mvp and always will be. The $19 buys the packaged Windows installer; building from source is free.
Does anything leave my computer?
No. Keyloop makes no network calls at all, has no accounts and no telemetry; the encrypted vault lives only on your disk.
What if I forget my master password?
With no backup you are locked out, because there are no custom primitives and no reset. Keyloop gives you three backup formats (encrypted file, QR paper sheet, URI list); use one. A paper QR backup holds your raw secrets, so store it like cash.
