Regarding exporting OTP settings: My solution was to use Titanium Backup on the Google Authenticator app, extract secret keys from that data, use them to create GA-compatible setup QR codes for each account, and save those QR codes in KeePass.

You could likely do something similar with FreeOTP, once that's done you can easily restore your codes without root. (And from then on be sure to save any future setup QR codes you use.)

I backup my keys into keepass just like you - but I would have to restore about 20 OTP accounts. Not something I want to do more than once.

And this is a workaround for a lack of a feature rather than a solution.

Also - I didn't say that was the only reason why I wanted root :).
