+## Migrating from Google Authenticator
+
+**Warning:** This method is provided as a means to transport your TOTP tokens to
+other devices, disconnected from your single factor authentication part. If you
+add those secrets into the same basket of eggs, you will be defeating the whole
+purpose of the [multi factor
+authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication)
+mantra. Please think it through before running this migration.
+
+If you read the warning paragraph above, [keep calm and move on with the
+migration](https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp/wiki/How-to-migrate-your-Google-Authenticator-database-to-pass-otp%3F).
