Ente Auth https://auth.ente.io/ https://auth.ente.io/ was my go to choice for migrating from Authy. It supports importing and exporting (so no dead end unlike Authy) and I can see the second factor on my desktop without reaching my phone (through Ente Auth website). I've exported from a rooted phone from Authy->Aegis->Ente Auth. I have no need for their main product but they are building amazing software!

  It is e2ee, so using their server would be the same (unless you are hosting just cuz you want to :) )

  probably better to look into this project? https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

Thanks, this looks fantastic. I just installed the mobile app and will be migrating off Authy as well. Don’t have a lot of faith in Authy’s longevity after they discontinued the desktop apps, and the dead end is an issue too.

There's no landing page to describe what the heck I'm signing up for. This company makes some weird UX decisions.

  From the response I got from the CEO, I'm assuming the expected discovery process is for users to start with the phone app.

Any reason to go with this over Aegis? It's not clear why I'd even want an account for a 2FA app, it feels like Aegis would be the better choice on that fact alone.

  Account creation is optional, and unlike Aegis, Ente is cross platform. The latter might not be relevant if you aren't opting into e2ee backups.

  Nothing against Aegis but I want my second factor also visible on the desktop (the second factor is meant to validate you are really you for an online service and is not meant to secure you against a compromised desktop computer)

I can't get that to work at all. Sign up, enter verification code, then refuses my password. 3 times. Not sure where I am going wrong.

How does this compare to 2FAS?
- vishnumohandas 3y ago
  From what I remember, 2FAS does not offer e2ee backups. I'm not sure if that has changed. There's a discussion here on PrivacyGuides, that might offer more details: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/add-2fas-authenticator-app/ https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/add-2fas-authenticator-a...

  2fas desktop extension/app requires you to reach out to your phone (which I do not want to do when on desktop).
