One more step to unhitching from Google…

Right now the only option I see in F-Droid is Aegis.

I’m not sure what to actually look for side from checking for unexpected permissions and reasonably frequent updates.

Hopefully something I can sync with a GNOME app…

      Yah, I can’t see a point to have another app/extension when Bitwarden has it built in, and it’s a great password manager.

          Right under Password in the edit screen of an item: Authenticator Key. You put in the auth key the target site provides you when you enable TOTP and it will start generating timed tokens. Usually you’ll also get a one-time pad of backup keys, I usually toss those in the Notes of the edit screen there as well in case something goes wrong.

    Aegis.

    I like the auto backup feature (encrypted) . Then the backup is synced to computer via Syncthing.

    Set and forget setup.

    I’ve been using Aegis for several years now without any problems. It replaced the Google Authenticator seamlessly.

    I use pass for my passwords, and it has an otp extension that I’ve been using more and more. I used to use aegis but I have needed to switch phones one too many times without having access to the previous phone to be comfortable with phones for 2fa.

    Of course, this isn’t as secure as a truly separate OTP solution, but it’s still better than no OTP/2FA. And I can easily enough back up and restore my 2fa access over the internet, even on a new computer (albeit I need to also backup a PGP key that can decrypt the password store to truly be portable).

    I primarily use GNOME Authenticator, but after an inopportune crash, I now also run 2FAuth on my home server as a backup, and now just hope that I remember to do the export/import dance going forward.
