Best 2FA app? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/privacy@lemmy.ml
 

Do you have any suggestions for a foss and open source 2FA app that sync’s between Linux and iOS? Thank you very much!

Aegis but it just works on Android. If possible use a 2FA app that is open source and doesnt't have internet connection.

I use vaultwarden/bitwarden

I've never understood the point of having your 2fa and your passwords in the exact same place. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

[–] Retiring@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It kind of does. But, the vault itself is protected with 2fa and that code i have backed up on a simple piece of paper (printed out the qr code) in my safe. You are not wrong though. Something to think about!

Woah, I have a selfhosten vaultwarden instance and never knew it could do this! Thanks, kind internet person!

I use a keepass database with KeePassium (strongbox looks great too).

I keep the database in the cloud but it’s unlocked by a local keyfile on each device. So if it’s compromised they would need the keyfile.

KeePassium keeps a local copy and backups if you lose connection.

I already use KeePassium, do you just store your TOTP keya in it?

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I actually use Bitwarden for passwords.

KeePassium just for totp.

I like my passwords nice and separate from totp. Used to use Authy but wanted something open sourced and more ability to access my data.

If I used KeePassium for passwords too, I’d have two separate databases with different passwords/key files. One for totp and one for passwords.

Not sure about syncing, but I use Aegis on Android and it works well

[–] noodlejetski@geddit.social 5 points 1 year ago

...which runs on neither Linux nor iOS.

[–] brihuang95@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I've been using Authy for a while now but I'm thinking of switching to Aegis since it's open source

[–] AzureRT@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

What's so good about Aegis?

[–] brainstorm21@lemmy.richardkramer.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I you are willing to self host, 2FAuth is pretty good.

[–] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Thx! Will look into it

[–] dsemy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I use Pass (https://apps.apple.com/il/app/pass-password-store/id1205820573) which is an iOS version of pass (the command line password manager) that also supports pass’s 2FA extension.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

2FAS or a KeePass vault kept in sync on both, which can store TOTP private keys and display them when needed.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 1 year ago

I use KeePassXC and you can sync it with Syncthing. On iOS there are alternatives which a compatible with Syncthing and the KeePassXC database, it works very cool once you figure out how to do it and you also got all your passports synced too with it.

[–] opt9@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

keepassxc for desktop and for Android: FreeOTP+ (the plus is important)

[–] adonkeystomple@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

I use 1Password for mine.
