Name one major password manager that blocks or paywalls export.
The iOS "passwords" app didn't support exporting for a while, though they eventually added it.
Usually when this type of thing happens, all the major players decide to do it at the same time.
- Authy

- Google Authenticator

Not password managers of course, but thanks for reminding me that I should figure out how to ditch Authy.

https://github.com/BrenoFariasdaSilva/Authy-iOS-MiTM is going to be my project for the afternoon.

I had to migrate from Authy because it doesn't work on Graphene OS. Migrated to Ente Auth and couldn't be happier.
Ente Auth

is a good alter. Works perfect for me.

Google Authenticator has an export-as-QR-code function that several other authenticator apps can parse. Is it the best/most convenient implementation? Obviously not, but you can absolutely export the codes.
Notably not password managers.
Comment you're replying to should've specified afterwards. Feature that were never there is very different than pay walling a such essential feature.
