I agree providing the Secret Key to other devices can be a pain. In fact it's our #1 onboarding challenge. On Apple devices specifically it's much easier as we can store it in iCloud Keychain, but we'd like to make it simpler everywhere.

Curious if you've had a chance to try the Setup Code? It's not as slick as iCloud since we don't own the OS, but it enables you to scan the code and get all the account details on your new device. That way all you need to do is type your password.

On that note we recently had a hackathon around this to make things even simpler and we had some success there. I'm hoping we can make this real and share it in an update later this year.
