mintotp VS Aegis

Huh? Who is saying you need a smartphone? PyPi accepts TOTP as 2FA. TOTP is an open standard that has been around for at least a decade already and is very easy to implement, literally 20 lines of python. There are a ton of TOTP applications available, from CLI, to GUI on desktop systems, to Android apps, iOS, etc. If you have any device, be it a computer, phone, tablet, etc., which you do since you need one to publish the code from, you can easily generate TOTP codes. Heck, you could even do it by a hand on a paper.

A little golfed, but TOTP in python, using included modules, is not much code.

mintotp – Minimal TOTP generator in 20 lines of Python

There was a HN post the other day demonstrating MinTOTP, a tiny TOTP generator in Python.

Documented in this project's README here: https://github.com/susam/mintotp#alternative-oath-toolkit

For 1Password I use a Yubikey, but for 2FA in general, I have a backup phone running Aegis[1].

Bottom line is, why in the world would you use a mysterious closed source app when there are better options out there? 2FAS is one of the better ones. Aegis Authenticator is another good choice for Android devices.

You can enable 2fa with amazon I suggest you do that with a 2fa app like aegis, that will greatly increase the security of your account and require the 2fa code to login to your account.

Aegis Authenticator has been a lifesaver for me: https://getaegis.app/

I use Aegis[1] on mobile and OTPClient[2] on my computer, both are regularly backed up on change.

I do not use the TOTP feature in my password manager (though I can split it to new DB in keepassXC) as feel it will defeat the purpose of 2FA.
