andOTP VS fdroidclient

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I did recently discover that andOTP is no longer maintained, though.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.

f-droid

Play Store → Aurora Store, Fdroid, Neo Store

Here is my pick: -aurora store download apk of apps from the googleplay store. -fdroid a store for opensource apps. -aria2 to use as an advance feature rich download manager and can use to torrent. -package manager is good for when installing apkm and exporting things. -sd maid to clean unwanted folders and dead files, generally clean the phone's storage. -pdf converter might be the best app to work with pdfs. -open resources read and download books for free, also they have an audio book app too. -mindustrycool game that i like, just recommending. -vlc an ad and hassle free audio-video player. -zee archiver another choice to zarchiver. -data eraser cb phones don't really need tools like this and using without understanding is harmful to the phone. -ocr ad free and opensource ocr app. -multi filerename does what it's name says. -stealth feature rich reddit client, can be found in fdroid. -fritter twitter client. newpipe feature rich no ad youtube client. -droid splitter splits files, can be buggy sometimes but does it's job. -onlyoffice-collabora microsoft office alternative. -binary eye qr code scanner. -video transcoder transcode video. -open link with cool link tool. -touch protecter protect from accidental touches when you don't want them. -fake stand by kinda like the one above but this one saves energy. -proexpense advance miney manager. Welp thats some of my pick and sorry for the lack of upper caped characters.
