Manual backup for Microsoft Authenticator?

Is there a way to manually backup my Microsoft Authenticator OTPs?

I had cloud backup enabled. I used Authenticator to login to something yesterday, everything looked OK. i fired it up today to login to something else, and all of my OTPs, except my one Microsoft OTP, are gone. I tried to recover from a backup, but the latest backup was recent (as in: it looks like the empty OTP cache overwrote the backup). I have dozens of accounts i'm going to need to recover now... frustrating, to say the least.

TIA

    Hi @Christopher Pitti ,

    Unfortunately there's no way to perform a manual backup in the Microsoft Authenticator.
