  1. 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.

  2. ¿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?

  3. @BjoernBeck gab es da nicht ein fettes #Antifeature bei #FreeOTP, weshalb man lieber den Fork #FreeOTPplus verwenden möchte? 🤔
    Das mag so zwei oder drei Jahre her sein, ...

  4. Millions Of #Google, #WhatsApp, #Facebook #2FA Security Codes Leak Online forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2

    #PIN via #SMS (or #email) is a stupid idea anyway.

    Best case: #FIDO2 hardware tokens. Well invested ~20-50€.

    If you can't, use #PassKeys if you absolutely trust the service provider.

    Both protect against phishing.

    If not, use a trustworthy #TOTP app (#GoogleAuthenticator is NOT trustworthy any more!) like: #FreeOTP #Aegis

    Other 2FA methods are more or less insecure.

  5. started using #LineageOS on my SGS20+ today:

    Counted:
    - 48 of the 95 apps installed from #FDroid (= open source)
    - another 8 open-source apps installed through the #Aurora Store
    - and almost a dozen open-source apps sideloaded

    That brings the proportion of FOSS apps on this device to ~80 percent.
    Not bad at all!

  6. Today, @fdroidorg offered me an update of #FreeOTP to version 2.0 after nearly exact 7 years of no FreeOTP update at all. Promises to be more secure. Yay, what could possibly go wrong? A lot. And now I regret that update: It requests to decide on a later #unchangeable (!) #password (Unchangeable?!? #WTF? What year do we have? How can this be "more secure"?) and has no more countdown timer. And downgrading back to 1.5 fails at F-Droid level with an unhelpful and generic error message. Great! 🤮

  7. #Kennste?

    #FreeOTP+ ist eine freie #Android-#App zur Zwei-Faktor-Authentisierung (#2FA) für Systeme, die das Einmal-Passwort-Protokoll (#OTP) verwenden. FreeOTP+ stellt hierbei eine Abspaltung (Fork) von vom #RedHat zur Verfügung gestellten FreeOTP dar, erweitert um einige Funktionen, etwa zum Ex- und Import der Einstellungen. Diese Funktion ist unverzichtbar in Bezug auf Sicherung der gespeicherten Sicherheitstoken.

  8. J'ai configuré la double authentification sur mon gestionnaire de mots de passe. Et hier, j'avais oublié mon téléphone donc pas possible de recevoir le sms...

    Du coup, j'essaye de passer sur #FreeOTP sur le smartphone et #oathtool sur l'ordinateur. Mais je n'arrive pas à générer des codes identiques.

    Le "secret" envoyé à oathtool, c'est le mot de passe pour ouvrir mon gestionnaire de mots de passe, ou c'est autre chose ?
