It’s time for me to move from SMS to a 2FA Authenticator app. I want something that will be open source but also ridiculously easy to back up, transfer to a new device, or replace if it is on a device that fails. I want it to be versatile enough to use across all necessary authentications. I also want to be sure that I can use the same app for many many years. I don’t want it tied into another service.
What’s my best option?
I use ente auth.
It’s open source, keeps your keys encrypted in the cloud and lets you use it on all devices. Convenient to have it on my desktop and backup phone.
Yes, it’s not best practice. I feel the risk is greatest that some password hashes leak. I want to guard myself from getting locked out.
