Accounts.txt

Error message

Accounts.txt

What it means

The Authenticator Plus importer expects a zip archive containing a file named "Accounts.txt" holding the encrypted entries. When no zip entry with that name is found, it throws FileNotFoundException with that constant name (wrapped flow), signaling the archive is not a valid Authenticator Plus export.

Solutions

1. Re-export a full backup from Authenticator Plus (must include Accounts.txt) and import that zip
2. Unzip the archive and confirm Accounts.txt exists at the top level; re-zip preserving the name if needed
3. Do not rename or convert Accounts.txt (e.g. to CSV-only exports)
4. Verify you selected the correct zip, not another app's backup

Example fix

// before
throw new FileNotFoundException(FILENAME);
// after
throw new DatabaseImporterException(
    String.format("%s not found in archive; this does not look like an Authenticator Plus backup", FILENAME));

try (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(backupPath)) {
    if (zip.getEntry("Accounts.txt") == null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Zip is missing Accounts.txt — not an Authenticator Plus backup");
    }
}

try {
    importer.read(stream);
} catch (DatabaseImporterException | FileNotFoundException e) {
    showUserError("Backup zip must contain Accounts.txt");
}

When it happens

Trigger: User selects an Authenticator Plus backup zip that lacks Accounts.txt — e.g. an incomplete export, a different app's zip, or an archive where the file was renamed/relocated.

Common situations: Partial backup (data exported as CSV instead); re-zipped archive that renamed the file; picking the wrong zip from a device backup.

Understand the failure class

Background: "File not found" and ENOENT errors: why libraries can't find a file that should exist — this error's family across 50 libraries.
