  • totp

    Encrypted TOTP secret store. (by ohyhyb)

  • I put this together to do it with one command: https://github.com/ohyhyb/totp

  • syncthing-android

    Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

  • 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.

  • Aegis

    A free, secure and open source app for Android to manage your 2-step verification tokens.

  • 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.

  • OTPClient

    Highly secure and easy to use OTP client written in C/GTK3 that supports both TOTP and HOTP

  • ios-application

    A native, lightweight and secure one-time-password (OTP) client built for iOS; Raivo OTP!

  • Raivo is another option on iOS.
