  1. I've started to move over to KeePassXC+2FAS Authenticator because I am tired of paying for a service that isn't even supported on my Garuda Linux install.

    Annoying, so I imported my Proton stuff already to my computer install...I just need to get the Android Client set-up next. Switching over my 2FA Codes over to 2FAS, then I can be rid of Proton Pass for good. I'd rather donate to open source projects anyway.

    Bonus Content: So KeePassXC does do OTP codes but it doesn't show them in the menu properly. I only found out by double-clicking. Found out on Android there are OTP Codes shown, it would be nice if the Linux App would show them.

    Let's talk about the overflowing wheelbarrow of shit I recently encountered while reinstalling a whole bunch of apps onto my #Android phone after deleting them for privacy reasons before going through customs. Buckle up, it's a wild ride.

  3. @thelinuxEXP Here’s a plug for Authenticator. I use it on my devices and have had zero issues with it.

  4. 2 Factor authenticator app question

    I guess I have to look into using a 2FA app at last so...

    I am probably late to the party on this, having resisted both Microsoft and Google's offerings up to now. I guess I'm just suspicious of these companies we used to love in the early days.

    I've looked at the PCMag review and it seems that their top choice - 2FAS - might fit my requirements. I use both Android (mobile) and Microsoft (laptop, desktop) OS.

    Has anyone any experience with this app? Any thoughts on it that might be helpful? Use on Windows and/or Android?

    Or are there any better ideas?

    Cheers!

  5. Truly impressive. No login functionality in the app. Not now, not in the past 9 years. But sure, let's pile on more AI. I'm sure that'll fix it. Or spectacularly won't.

  6. @BrideOfLinux Good on Proton for making it free and open source.

    I’m sticking with for the convenient desktop browser extension that requests the current code from my phone and fills it in automatically.

  7. @neurologo Filtraciones hay TODOS los dias, y practicamente ninguna plataforma ha estado exenta.

    Mi consejo es habilitar la #AutenticacionDeDosPasos en todas las cuentas que te lo permitan, y usar un administrador como #2FAS (2fas.com/).

    Este último es mi favorito, pero existen muchos mas.

    Finalmente, un administrador de contraseñas como #Bitwarden (bitwarden.com/ ) aumentará la protección de tu identidad digital.

  8. Als #authy den Export nicht mehr unterstützte, war es natürlich mühsam, die Daten alle umzuziehen.

    Ich hatte mir eine Liste gemacht und dann nach und nach alle Dienste auf #enteAuth umgezogen (#2FAS wäre die zweite Option gewesen).

    Genau so werde ich das nun mit allen meinen benutzten US-Diensten machen: in einer Liste alle Abhängigkeiten sammeln und dann nach und nach umziehen.

  9. A lot of banks in the Philippines still rely on SMS for #2FA, despite how insecure it is—easily spoofed, intercepted, and unreliable. Some use in-app confirmations via their mobile app, but if you lose access to your phone, you're probably locked out. Why not support standard authentication apps like #2FAS, #Aegis, #Bitwarden, #Vaultwarden, or #KeePassXC, which have TOTP support and easy backups? That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about losing access. #MFA #MultiFactorAuthentication #Security

  10. Trying #EnteAuth as a replacement for #2FAS but it kinda bugs me that I can't add custom icons nor can I sort the entries other than alphabetically. I can add tags to have the 2 or 3 most important ones on one page though.

  11. @mountdiscovery You may want to look at an open-source MFA app called #2FAS. It has backup and sync capability to a variety of cloud services or to an encrypted file stored locally. There is also a Chrome extension that will auto-fill the codes for you on your PC or Mac.

  12. @kaiserkiwi i would recommend Apples internal password/mfa solution, if that is enough for you (but it's only exportable with MacOS IIRC).

    Otherwise there is #2fas, which sounds very secure.

    And i'm choosing now #enteAuth, b/c it's exactly, what i need: ente.io/auth/

  13. I'm also moving my 2FA from #Authy somewhere else. I found #2FAS which is open-source and immediately feels nicer to use than Authy's UI. The fact that Authy won't let me export my accounts ("for security" they say) is icing on the cake after their recent security breach. Good riddance.

  14. @doekman @jpmens Yesterday I reset all my ~25 2FA accounts while moving to #2FAS and I can't see it is easy all the time. As some have a "Reconfigure 2FA" and you simply scan the qr-code with the new app, some make you jump through some email or sms verification loops. For disabling and then again for enabling the new one.

    So, I'm glad I have something a bit more open now than the MS Authenticator before.

  15. @jpmens
    Great. One more way to defeat the TWO factor principle.

  16. I decided to move my 2FA tokens out of #Authy and into #2FAS. Out of spite and curiosity to see how the process would be. I did them manually (disable on each site and re-enable), which is time consuming and lets you jump through a lot of hoops... That last thing is good I guess, for security reasons.

    But 3/10 would not recommend the process, but definitely worth checking out what apps are out there for MFA. I settled on 2fas.com since it has a desktop browser plugin.

  17. The sad #Authy desktop app is finally being put out of its misery. It was astonishingly slow and bloated for something that generated a few numbers every 30 seconds.

    I switched to #2fas (2fas.com) a while ago and can't recommend it enough, even though it doesn't have a desktop version.

  18. I veckans poddavsnitt pratar vi om hur tvåfaktorsautentiseringsappen ”2FAS” kan ersätta Authy lagom till när Authy pensionerar Windows- och Mac OS-stödet.

  19. Switched to #2FAS now #Authy is winding down desktop support. Never liked not being able to properly backup my TOTP codes anyway.

  20. Hey iOS :apple_inc: users, what 2fa app are you using?

    I'm going to migrate from Raivo to another, actively-maintained open-sourced app which is not a product.

    I was using Raivo OTP, but it got purchased by a company, and development has been frozen.

    There are some open-sourced apps such as Ente or 2fas, but I was wondering what are you guys using and why.

    I have personal backups so lack of import is not a problem for me.

  21. @mattiem I’m working on iOS 2FA app - 2FAS (github.com/twofas/2fas-ios). We have a browser extension, Android app and a great discord community 😄👍 #2fas #OpenSource

  22. Inspired by a friend, I decided to make a conscious effort to migrate to #Linux full time as my OS. In the past I have always found something I needed to go back to Windows for as I couldn't figure it out on Linux.

    In five weeks I have only had to boot back into Windows once, briefly.

    So far I am pleased with the changes I have made to Linux and associated apps.

    Below are the key tools I've moved from:

    * Windows 11 pro to
    @[email protected]
    * MS Edge to
    @[email protected] as an awesome browser
    * MS Office to
    @[email protected]
    * OneDrive to
    #NextCloud for file syncing
    * Outlook to
    @[email protected] (best move ever)
    * Goolge Podcast to
    @[email protected]
    * MS Authenticator to
    #2FAS
    * SnagIt to
    #FlameShot @[email protected]

    I'm still looking for a decent/simple/quick image editor, and a code editor (using VS Studio at the moment).

    I'm delighted with my progress so far.
