  • Android TOTP app with Yubikey NFC/USB as login method
    2 projects | /r/yubikey | 26 Feb 2023
    It's a bit complicated, but you can use GPG for this! You can follow this guide to setup GPG, and follow this issue to set it up with Termux, then use OKCAgent's GPG function to en/decrypt any files. You can then use any CLI TOTP program and de/encrypt the key files with your GPG key. It's not as secure as having them on the key, as the private keys for the TOTP have to be in your phone's RAM. You can write a shell script for that and put a widget to it on your home screen.

    Simple password decrypt: okc-gpg -d ~/.password-store/mypass.gpg

    I made a termux shortcut (button on homescreen) to emulate pass-dmenu via this ( store in ~/.shortcuts):

      #!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/env bash
