It is still valid, but only for a short time. It is already gone in iOS master. It will
probably disappear in Android once we land fingerprint support.

I remembered the following thread from exactly a year ago. Is this
still
valid?

Is there a way to restore the tokens other than manually entering the

On iOS, this is handled transparently by iTunes.
On Android, you can use the adb command on your computer.
Connect your phone and run:
# adb backup -f freeotp.bak org.fedorahosted.freeotp
That will store the FreeOTP data to the file freeotp.bak. To restore
this data, just run:
# adb restore freeotp.bak
Note, that during this process, Android will ask you if you wish to
encrypt your backup. Doing this is *highly* recommended. Otherwise, an
attacker could read your token data in plain text.

Adding your keys to FreeOTP on a replacement or additional device can be
quite cumbersome. It would require contacting many of the services to set up
new keys, which in turn would require verifying your identity for each of
those services.
To guard against the keys being stolen, the backup could be encrypted with a
key from AGP or OpenKeychain (Android). Thus, backup and restore would
require the key - if possible, FreeOTP could be made to require that the
chosen key have a passphrase.
