May I make you aware of #FreeOTP, a #FOSS #authenticator #app by #RedHat. It is completely free of charge (no ads, no spying), completely open source, available on pretty much every #mobile OS, and it takes up only 1 MB of the storage in your #smartphone! That is 20 times less than Google's authenticator! I have been using it for many years and never had a single problem with it. If you are not already using another authenticator app, I can totally recommend this little pearl.

Hi. Ich suche eine App / Software / Firefox Add-on, die OTP für Logins generiert. Damit ich nicht ständig mein Smartphone mit freeOTP zücken muss, wenn ich mich irgendwo anmelden will. Als System läuft Windows 11.

P.S.:Ja ich weiß, ist eigentlich nicht im Sinne des Erfinders...😀🤷

@mutteripannu FreeOTP. Open-source and available from both Google Play and F-droid.

¿Alguien utiliza TOTPs? Yo utilizo #googleauthenticator pero como estoy en ese camino de desgooglearme estoy buscando alternativas.

Desde el sitio wed de #disroot mencionan un par pero uno, #andOTP parece ya no tener su página en #fdroid, y el otro que es #FreeOTP+ no se ha actualizado desde el 2024. Igual estos los he chequeado desde el repositorio por default de F-Droid así que todavía no he visto en otros repos.

Pero bueno, quienes usan TOTPs ¿Cuáles usan o cuáles recomiendan?

Vous avez entendu parler de l'authentification à deux facteurs #2FA ? Je suis sûr que oui. Savez-vous que la plupart de nos logiciels préférés du #fediverse proposent cette sécurité supplémentaire ? Et il n'y a même pas besoin de donner son numéro de téléphone pour recevoir un code que parfois on ne reçoit pas. Un qr code est partagé par le serveur sur lequel vous possédez un compte, celui-ci contient l'algorithme qui génère un code à usage unique que vous devrez saisir à chaque connexion à votre compte. Pour cela il y a une appli (mais ce n'est pas la seule) #freeotp+ qui génèrera votre code d'accès unique à chaque fois que vous en aurez besoin.
J'ai pris en photo mon écran pour vous montrer à quoi ça ressemble, l'appli ne m'autorisant pas à faire une capture d'écran, c'est pour dire combien c'est sécurisé.
L'appli est téléchargeable sur github https://github.com/helloworld1/FreeOTPPlus/releases/download/RELEASE-3.1.1/app-release.apk

Pour IOS il y a l'appli du projet original https://apps.apple.com/app/freeotp-authenticator/id872559395

N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous rencontrez des difficultés pour faire fonctionner l'application.

The history of my phones: #Motorola ROKR E6 (running MontaVista Linux) → moto e(2) → moto G6 (stock #Android → #LineageOS) → #Google Pixel 8a (#GrapheneOS). Why the change? Well, #Lenovo is killing Motorola brand for years now.

A few thoughts after the first day using it, and comparing it to 5 year old Motorola with barely working software:

1. Pixel: 7 years software updates + good alternatives. Motorola: 2 years + poorly working LineageOS port, whose support just ended. You could say you either pay directly to Google, or you buy competition and pay in your data.

2. It made me think of "value" moto e(2) — no charger, not even a back cover, but there's Gorilla Glass and good hardware. Well, except that the price isn't "value".

3. It's not really pretty, I'm going to need to find a case to even out the back. Moto G6 was a piece of art compared to it.

4. It didn't reboot of its own accord even once yet. Moto G6 rebooted at least daily.

5. You can call more than once. Moto G6 used to hang after a single call — you couldn't make or receive another one, and it drained the battery.

6. Location catches in a few seconds, compared to a few minutes of standing still with Moto G6, in good weather.

7. Data transfer was successful. It's much easier when you're doing it across phones, rather than from backups. Even Matrix and #GadgetBridge didn't cause any issues.

8. Restore in #FreeOTP doesn't work. Fortunately, during the last migration I've backed up all the secrets externally.

9. The fingerprint reader in the screen is usable, and I'm getting the hang of gesture navigation. However, the under-screen fingerprint reader + navigation in Moto G6 was just brilliant. I still couldn't find any convenient way of locking the screen.

10. Performance and RAM is much better. It just doesn't keep killing the apps I'm using.

11. I haven't tested the screen in the sunlight yet, but I suspect it's going to be better. G6 was pretty horrible, even compared to the value e(2).

12. The government mObywatel app is working. Just saying.

13. Multiling O keyboard sometimes shows under the bottom "keyboard control" bar, sometimes above it — very annoying.
