Nevertheless I chose my Yubikey instead.
Yubikey on a phone?
Yes, it’s relatively convenient with NFC.
Yep. Just download the Yubico Authenticator app. Your OTPs wont show up unless you tap your physical Yubikey to your phone’s NFC chip.
Only downside is, the Yubico Authenticator only allows 32 accounts. So i have my most important accounts on there.
Any iOS alternatives? Couldn’t find either of these in the App Store.
iOS has terrible choices when it comes to privacy and/or Open source. Apps that put control into the users hands are in direct conflict with Apple, and many times from what I know certain software licenses have issues getting approved there. See if Raivo is still around (may be spelled wrong).
Check out Techlore as well for recommendations across the board, before he went to a Pixel he ran an iPhone for a while and had a decent list of stuff for them IIRC.
You’re right about Apple. I hope the EU will force openness into the ecosystem. I’m also hopeful that open and free alternatives will continue to become more viable in terms of user experience; the switch to Lemmy from Reddit has been mostly painless.
Thanks for the recommendations.
Edit: Raivo is perfect for a dedicated Authenticator app in the Apple ecosystem. I’ll likely pay for Bitwarden instead as I want to support their great product.
Bitwarden has TOTP in their premium plans, otherwise check https://ente.io/auth
I reccommend ente auth. privacyguides.org added it a while ago.
Yeah, FreeOTP exports are broken. Can’t import them back to FreeOTP, can’t import them to another application. I’ve spent 2 hours writing a script to decrypt the export manually, the resulting codes are not accepted anywhere probably because ciphers are not written to the file properly. I’ve been going around restoring accounts for the past month. Fuck FreeOTP.
