- hypeatei 2y agoMost password managers support it and offer mobile + desktop clients.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 2y agoThe desktop version somewhat contradicts the purpose of 2FA.
- hypeatei 2y agoNot really, 2FA is literally just that: a second factor. It makes it unlikely someone has access to both your password and the TOTP URI. So, if you leak your password on a public forum (for example), the person who gets that is not likely to also have your TOTP info.
- mort96 2y agoGood thing that 2fa is entirely unnecessary.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoIn this case what if you use 2FA while browsing with your phone. Wouldn't that also contradict the purpose? The main purpose is that people won't get phished as easily or if they reuse passwords it can't be abused. Or if password was to leak for any reason.
- aPoCoMiLogin 2y agoi've switched to keepass right after first breach. it's not convenient to store the db on eg gdrive and sometimes it doesn't work, but that is way better than another SaaS app that will eventually leak my passwords/2fa codes.
- nsajko 2y agoWhy do you need it to be a single app?
- pnw 2y agoBecause I don't want to manually sync between desktop and mobile?
