Export from Microsoft Authenticator
Microsoft Authenticator can't export TOTP seeds unless your phone is rooted, so you can't move an existing seed out of it.
Instead, reset your OTP seed with your bank to get a new secret key. Add that key to Thijooree, and to Microsoft Authenticator too if you want codes in both apps.
Important
Resetting replaces the old seed. The existing BML entry in Microsoft Authenticator stops working, so you have to add the new key to it again.
How to do it
- Follow Set up BML up to step 5, where you copy the secret key.
- Add the key to Microsoft Authenticator using the steps below.
- Go back to Set up BML and continue from step 6.
Warning
Add the key to Microsoft Authenticator before step 7 (Verify Code). After you verify, BML stops showing the secret key and you would have to reset again.

Choose the account type Tap Other account (Google, Facebook, etc.). |
Paste the secret key Enter an Account Name such as Bank of Maldives, paste the key from BML into Secret Key and tap Finish. |
Account added The account now shows a 6-digit code. It matches the code in Thijooree because both use the same key. |
Now go back to Set up BML and continue from step 6. In step 7 you can verify with the code from either Thijooree or Microsoft Authenticator.
