Right now I have put LineageOS on my old tablet together with F-Droid and Termux. When used with its keyboard case this makes for a suprisingly capable device. It is small and lightweight and I can use it to get actual coding work done. It is basicly my traveling laptop now. On F-Droid, these FOSS offerings of apps can be amazing. Trying to find a piano app for my baby. The once in Playstore pieces of ad delivery shouting garbage. The one I found on F-Droid is simple, clean and exactly what I was looking for. If it wasn't for the Microsoft Authenticator I need for my work I would have no need for the entire Playstore.

Depending how locked down your work AD is; andOTP can scan and generate 6-digit codes which Microsoft support.

  andOTP is unmaintained, I would recommend Aegis

    Thank you; I had missed that. Aegis is also great; but always a pity to loose such a trouble free piece of software.

      Thankfully, Aegis imports andOTP vaults with no trouble.

    Do you have any opinions on 2fas.com ?

      It is not in F-Droid so I can't easily try it.

      I checked them out last week. They claim to be the internet's favorite open source 2fa app (or some similar wording). The trouble is they only just became open source and there is no evidence to support the claim. They are open source so I don't want to spread FUD but for my own personal use case I found the project a bit dubious. Like what else are they not being honest about? I do in pirinciple like that their browser extension works in conjunction with their phone app.

        Gosh darn it, you got us! It’s true, it has to be said… our claim is a complete marketing BS, a statement which our mom said when we were down and beat over a break-up in high school a few years back. Truth be told, we’re actually the highest-rated open-source 2FA app on both major app stores… but it still technically may not be true. Frankly, our mom’s white lie just kept us together somehow and fueled the fire for development and growth. We were able to work it out with ourselves, process things on a different level, finally be at peace during a tough period of our adolescence… Now, it’s true our therapist said last week we should probably get over it. - Finally, come clean and face the fact that you’re not actually, indeed the Internet’s favorite open-source app - he said smugly. But it’s a hard pill to swallow, y’know. Especially coming from a guy who we pay to listen to us moan about Authy and Aegis all the time… we should probably just do it the Metallica way and fire the guy. He feels like he’s part of the band, it’s too much… But, we digress! We needed a push, a spark - AN INTERVENTION. And… you gave us just that. We solemnly swear to work it out with our mom to change that marketing claim on our website. We think it’s time. It probably is. How about… OUR MOM’S FAVORITE OPEN SOURCE 2FA? 5 upvotes and it’s going live for a week. 20 upvotes and we’re keeping it till the end of May :slightly_smiling_face:

    Why is it a problem that it's unmaintained? It's not like the TOTP standard is a moving target.

      Tightly integrating into device bio-metrics whilst protecting secrets from advisories is very much a moving target.
      - toastercat 3y ago
        Can't you just not use the bio-metrics option for andOTP? Honest question. I tried Aegis, but still prefer andOTP.

        If you ask me, the fewer features, the less the attack surface.

If you use bitwarden/vaultwarden as password manager you can manage TOTP either on web or via browser plugin with it. In my limited testing with office365/teams a few days ago it worked.

  I've been doing this for about a year now, and haven't run into any issues with any of the various tools I need to authenticate with. It's a great solution so far, and this one feature makes the entire subscription pay for itself, imho.

  Personally, I have a strong preference for not combining my password manager with my 2fa totp code generator though. Compromise of one meaning compromise of the other, and all that.
