I use 2FA for GitHub with KeePassXC, on my desktop. I don't have a GitHub app on my phone. You can setup a TOTP app for GitHub without their mobile app.

I Use KeePassXC[0] on the desktop and is really great. It is open-source; not an Electron app, it is written in C++[1]; there are browser plugins to auto-fill user/password/TOTP codes; it is local-first: not tied to any cloud vend

If I understood it correctly, if you change the code of SŌZU, you need to open-source not only your fork, but everything that can be reached/connected to by SŌZU. Google has a policy against using APGL internally, nor in your company e
