andOTP VS AuthenticatorPro

I love F-Droid and try to use apps from there whenever possible.

I did recently discover that andOTP is no longer maintained, though. I've switched to Aegis since.

https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP

I use andOTP[0] which auto-exports an encrypted backup to a local folder, which is then synced with Syncthing[1] to my NAS.

It's seamless and doesn't need an internet connection.

- AndOTP github project is archived in june 2022: https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP

I used FreeOTP before that, which is also fine. I switched because maintenance had been fairly uncommon and there were some minor issues bugging me, but it seems to have picked up again recently, and it's backed by Red Hat as an entity for better or for worse. andOTP is officially deprecated, so I recommend switching to either of those.

At the moment this works with encrypted backup files from andotp and aegis and it totally fullfills my lazyness needs. :)

I was happily using andOTP but seems like it has been unmaintained since June - https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP.

I wish F-Droid or Play Store had a feature like GitHub's 'Archived' to inform users.

You can use whatever 2FA you want, but you need to extract the secret key for it using some scripts. i did it a while ago and i have both blizzards and steams 2fa on Aegis on android, also works in KeepassXC. I think the 2fa app needs to have support for it but it works. https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP/wiki/Shared-secrets

I would switch to andOTP since it allows you to export the keys.

I have been using the free version of this for a while because it works on my smartwatch while the Google one doesn't (or didn't Last time I checked) https://github.com/jamie-mh/AuthenticatorPro

Personally I use authenticator pro cause it looks nicer while having the same features. Works on wear os too (can't say I use that tho)

I recently switched from Aegis to Authenticator Pro. Both are free and open source, I've personally found Authenticator Pro to be a better experience.

Authenticator Pro (version 21000085): Free and open-source 2FA app with encrypted backups

Best foss YT client no doubt, it plays every yt video with rare crashes, Libretube is best UI wise and have MU but it can't play every yt video, so it this app in MU will be bliss :) * Tasks.org apparently dev of this app tried to implement MU but i think he said, due to code languge it is not possible * Aegis/Authenticator Pro Both are best 2fa apps there is no doubt but i prefer Authenticator pro for it's more features and seamless backup...Dev. of aegis denied MU in issues page of his repo, Maybe Auth. Pro will have it :) There is Mauth with MU but still in Alpha so it's unusable * Bitwarden It is always a nice thing to see this app in MU :) best password manager (I know for 2fa app and password managers we don't supposed to look of UI but still) * Forkgram Besically all telegram clients lacks MU, there is workaround with TG monet (which i use) but you have to manually apply theme everytime so inbuilt monet will be great. Nonfoss apps like MDgram have monet theme (but this is foss sub) * VLC Just imagine how nice it would look if most widely used media player follows MU :), let's hope it will get it soon :)

no, but Authenticator Pro does the same thing, has a WearOS app and can import a google authenticator qr code

Authenticator Pro, it has a nice ui and automatic encrypted backups.

So actually there is a cool authenticator out there called "Authenticator Pro". Despite the snarky name it's actually open source and really cool since it has DOWNLOADABLE ENCRYPTED FILE BACKUPS, and it even has icons for most apps. Or you can add the icons yourself with a pull request.
