  • KeeTrayTOTP

    Tray TOTP Plugin for KeePass2.

  • There are some desktop implementations of Steam TOTP client, so you don't even need a rooted phone, as long as you trust some random open source code. https://github.com/KeeTrayTOTP/KeeTrayTOTP#documentation

  • steamguard-shared-secret

    Obtain Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator shared secret from Android phone without root

  • It's a weird variant of TOTP, but you have to be rooted or modify the app in order to extract the secret to use with other apps. Years ago I wrote a script to do it, but I'm not sure if it still works -- it's not really worth doing imo
