Add Account by Text Key #7

@srguglielmo

Description

@srguglielmo

In the event that one's phone is stolen, lost, or damaged, it is important to have a backup of the secret keys as some websites/services do not provide backup codes. Since this app does not allow adb backup, nor does it have an export/backup function, the secret keys must be backed up by the user upon generation. One could either take a screenshot of the QR code or save the text version of the secret key.

Since taking a screenshot of every QR code is bothersome and painstaking, not to mention insecure (even if saved to an encrypted volume, the OS may inadvertently save to /tmp or elsewhere unencrypted), I'd like to request that a feature be added to this app which allows adding an account using the text version of the secret key.

I very much enjoy the simplicity of this app and was very happy to see an alternative to FreeOTP added to F-Droid. I applaud such simplicity and intuitiveness of the user interface, however I do feel like this is a necessary feature if the decision to disallow a backup/export function is upheld.

Thank you for your time!
