  • 2fas-browser-extension

    Source code for 2FAS Browser Extension

  • Authenticator

    Authenticator generates 2-Step Verification codes in your browser.

  • I use a browser extension from https://authenticator.cc/

    While I do not know whether its UX is similar, it does have a sync feature (but not cross-browser), an export feature, can backup its data to Google Drive, can store everything encrypted (but not by default), is recommended by at least one government website (SSS Employer Portal in the Philippines), and is there for a long time. Oh, and it also remembers which site each secret comes from, and hides others.

  • shell-plugins

    Seamless authentication for every tool in your terminal.

  • Consider 1Password, with the added bonus of the `op` CLI tool and a variety of other dev conveniences.

    CLI: https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/get-started/

    Shell plugins: https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/shell-plugins

    Secrets automation: https://developer.1password.com/docs/secrets-automation

  • auth

    Discontinued Fully open source, End to End Encrypted alternative to Google Photos and Apple Photos [Moved to: https://github.com/ente-io/ente]

  • I've been happy with Ente Auth

    https://github.com/ente-io/auth

  • ios-application

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

  • I use open source Raivo OTP [1] on iOS and then on my computers with Apple Silicon I use the same iOS app instead of their desktop because it sinks better.
