AuthBridge — Backup Migration Helper for Authenticator and Bookmarks

Move Microsoft Authenticator and Edge bookmark data to no-VPN alternatives

Problem

A Microsoft Authenticator backup policy change now forces users to back up to Google One. One user panicked: passwords are already in Bitwarden but browser autofill isn't great, bookmarks are all in Edge, and the one foreign product that worked without a VPN is now changing rules. They said bookmarks plus password autofill is the real priority.

Solution

Read existing Edge bookmarks and Microsoft Authenticator 2FA entries, export them to common formats, and guide migration to still-usable alternatives such as built-in browser password managers plus third-party TOTP apps, preserving autofill experience. Provides pre-migration checks and rollback backups.

Users

Users deeply in the Microsoft ecosystem who rely on Edge bookmarks and Authenticator but do not want to use Google services behind a VPN.

MVP

Import Edge bookmarks and Authenticator entries; export to common CSV or standard TOTP formats; recommend and guide setup of alternatives; generate a full backup before migration; all local, no upload.

Revenue

One-time purchase or low-cost subscription; enterprise tier priced per device.

Why now

Big tech auth and backup policies change often, leaving ordinary users forced to migrate with poor tooling; such transition windows are ideal for solo developers to ship quick helpers.
