thanks a lot for the fast reply!

I had the same problem a year ago and remember googeling it without any satisfying results.

winauth (https://winauth.com/download/) from your second link works fast and easy without the need of setting up a virtual machine:

just googled it for you .
You could use Oracle's VirtualBox, Android x86 OS, and then install the Authenticator. This would essentially give you the Google Authenticator on a desktop.

VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/

Android x86: http://www.android-x86.org/

my ex-girlfriend was kind enough to deliver my phone into the pool. now I'm unable to log into my trading accounts.

I've got a backup of all the 2FA seeds but I'm alone on some remote Island in Indonesia and have no easy way to get a new smartphone to setup a new 2FA from the backup.

is there a way to emulate the google 2FA auth android app on a windows 7 system? or any other way to recover the 2FA from the seed?

any help is highly appreciated! I've got a large position open and would be very very bud hurt if the price starts moving against me without any chance of getting out of my position...

cheers!
