2fast VS pass-otp

Here's one hosted on github: https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast

I have desktop 2FA TOTP app as a backup. Even if you have a backup, depending on one app/service is crazy. I relied on a password manager, but it's database got corrupted, backups as well.

There is also this, 2fast (https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast/). Relatively newer, options are minimal, but for 2FAs, it did the trick.

2fast – Two Factor Authenticator - 2FA backup app (screenshot protected)

You can use the desktop app like https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast

there is 2fa app for that https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast/ (Windows) https://github.com/flathub/com.belmoussaoui.Authenticator or Bitwarden. why bother with emulator?

I prefer a simple offline Authenticator 2fast, backed up by MSA.

otp tokens are included in the encrypted file. It’s just appended to the file, e.g. otpauth://totp/… You’ll need to install https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp on desktop for this to work. But the android client comes with support builtin.

I use pass myself. I had no idea you could use it for otp. Are you using something like this? https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp

I use https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp with pass, which has a FOSS client for desktop and smartphone (at least for andriod, no idea for ios)

There are the password manager pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/), which has an extension pass-otp (https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp). This extension can be used instead of Google Authenticator.

> In particular, I don't see how 2FA is possible with this

Umm, why not?

First, you can use a different app (like aegis) to generate OTPs.

Second, pass has an extension (https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp) that can be used to generate OTPs.

git clone https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otpcd pass-otpsudo make install

You can use pass
