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