FOSS-alt to Authy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I currently use Authy on my android and my Linux system.

It syncs every new authenticator between my devices but I dont want to trust companies with my security anymore.

I host a nextcloud instance on my homelab. Does anyone know a good FOSS authenticator that can use my nextcloud to sync between Linux and android? Provided that it is available on both of course.

Thanks for any input!

I just bitwarden pass manager to store all my 2fa stuff. I just let the company host my account, but if you don't want that then you can self host your own bitwarden server for free. It's very convenient, especially with the autofill on desktop and mobile.

Last time I checked Bitwarden, it didn't have a way of recognising when password is changed for an existing account (to prompt you to update saved pw); is that still the case?

Also, would you happen to know if Bitwarden allows you to setup another user to have emergency access? As in, they could request access to your account and if you don't deny within X days, they get access? (Digital will type of deal)

The first part, yes it does. Though I never use it and manually edit it. The second part, no idea tbh.

Just saw this after I posted my other comment.. thanks!

Thanks! It looks like they do have emergency access too: https://bitwarden.com/help/emergency-access/

Might look into switching over to them again.

What do you use for your 2fa for Bitwarden itself?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Email, sms, mfa from another bitwarden logged in, and my yubikey
