pass-otp VS authy

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

I don't know why people keep saying this. This app has been around for a while now and works flawlessly, as close to automatic as you can get: https://github.com/alexzorin/authy

Authy totp tokens can be exported from Authy using https://github.com/alexzorin/authy

Just use the totp token as the first entry in the password file, and "pass otp " will generate an otp. Very convenient.

Easy to export

There's project that can export Authy tokens for you to import in Aegis. And every time you add a new token, just scan the QR code with both Authy and Aegis, they are back up for each other (so in case one of them stops working you can use the other one). Authy is also great if you have devices other than Android (Windows, iPhone/iPad, etc.)

Refer: code to extract 2FA seeds from Authy or use this App on github to extract seeds.
