Exporting One Time Passwords (OTP)

Don't forget to transfer your OTP when replacing a PC/smart phone that has been used as an OTP device.
Also, if you want to set up an environment to generate OTP multiple devices, please do the following method.

If you have a postcard that says "Secret Key for TOTP", please read the following page.
(You can see the key string and QR code on the postcard, so there is no need to export it.
