FOSS-alt to Authy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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'm surprised no one has recommended "2FAS" yet. It's the open-source alternative. The app is primarily designed for mobile, but they also offer a browser extension that you could install on Linux if you wanted to. Personally, I always try to keep my 2FA apps unsynchronized with a desktop PC.

Oh, and you can export your secrets at any time. Not like Authy.
