href=\"https:\/\/keepass.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">KeePass<\/a>&nbsp;. Version 2.x of this software is available to download free of charge for Windows. The website of the open source project also offers corresponding ports for other platforms such as Linux, Android, Mac OS X or iPhone and iPad. We recommend the use of a backup for 2FA access data.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/keepass.info\/help\/v2\/setup.html#portable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">portable Kee Pass version<\/a>&nbsp;. This makes it possible to save the program installation together with the backup of the 2FA data on one and the same storage medium, for example on a USB stick, regardless of the device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The KeePass installation is quick and easy: Simply create a new folder and unzip the ZIP file of the portable KeePass version into it. For a German user interface, we recommend the additional installation of the corresponding&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/keepass.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Translation<\/a>. The contents of this ZIP archive are copied to the &#8220;Languages&#8221; subfolder. To start the program for the first time, simply double-click on the program file &#8220;KeePass.exe&#8221;. The question &#8220;Enable automatic update check?&#8221; is confirmed with &#8220;Enable (recommend)&#8221; to activate the automatic check for KeePass updates. The switch to the German user interface is finally made via &#8220;View, Change Language &#8230;&#8221; by clicking on the option &#8220;German (Deutsch)&#8221;. After restarting the program, KeePass is ready for use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To create a new password database, simply click on &#8220;File, New &#8230;&#8221; after the restart. After confirming the following message with &#8220;OK&#8221;, the user selects the file name and storage location of the encrypted database and then the main password for opening and decrypting. The database settings can be accepted in the subsequent dialog by clicking &#8220;OK&#8221;. Everything is now ready for you to enter your 2FA access data. The first account is created via &#8220;Entry, add entry &#8230;&#8221;. The &#8220;title&#8221;, such as &#8220;Google account (username@gmail.com)&#8221;, is only used to identify the account. Then enter your user name and password.

TOTP keys are saved in plain text in the same way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, it is recommended to use &#8220;TOTP Seed&#8221; as the name of the field so that the data can also be read out later with the optional KeePass plug-in KeeTrayTOTP.&nbsp;TOTP keys in the form of a QR code, which are saved locally as a graphic file from the browser with a right-click and the option &#8220;Save graphic as &#8230;&#8221; or via a screenshot, can be saved in KeePass in the &#8220;File attachments&#8221; area using the &#8220;Attach&#8221; button. Once you have entered all the required account details, simply click on &#8220;OK&#8221; to apply all the changes.
