I just simply want the codes under my control. The current authenticator did finally allow export to qr code, but google still makes it stupendously difficult to just get a simple text export to a file. It's not been a problem for me though as I've just always saved the otpauth code from the start.

I save the qrcodes in an encrypted folder than I can quickly import into a yubikey with:

    for i in *.png; do uri=`zbarimg -q --raw "$i"` && ykman oath accounts uri --touch --password "MYYUBIPASS" "$uri"; done
