  1. O Google bloqueou a capacidade de reCaptcha sem usar Google Play Services, o que cria um problema pra quem não pertence ao ecossistema deles. Sistemas operacionais que não o usam, como GrapheneOS ou LineageOS, ficarão em uma situação de desgraça.

  2. Ya tengo listo el guión de un nuevo video para el canal de #YouTube de #juncotic, para el curso de Hardening y el de SSH!

    Continuamos con lo que introduje en el video anterior: 2fa con TOTP en SSH usando google-authenticator y PAM.

    Esta vez: mecanismos de recuperación si se nos cayó el celular/móvil al agua 😅

    ¿No viste el video anterior?

  4. 🧑‍💻 Built your own MFA system yet?

    We just dropped a full walkthrough on how to integrate Google Authenticator into RELIANOID’s MFA portal — with secrets stored in AD or LDAP.

    🔐 Based on TOTP
    🛡️ Validates tokens post-login
    📱 Generates QR codes for new users

    It’s secure, scalable, and open-source-friendly.

  5. Mi rispondo da solo, per aiutare i posteri :speech_balloon:

    Cercavo un provider #PEC che consentisse autenticazione a 2 fattori tramite app di terze parti (G Auth, Aegis...).

    Aruba e Ionos/Namirial obbligano alla loro app proprietaria.
    L'unico che lo consente pare essere #Libero (e forse #Virgilio, stesso gruppo #ItaliaOnline).

  6. Akun Dapodik belum pakai 2FA? ⚠️🔐
    Aktifkan 2FA Dapodik (SSO) dengan Google Authenticator supaya akun lebih aman.
    ✅ Login Dapodik SSO
    📱 Scan QR di Google Authenticator

  7. Proton Authenticator

    As more and more of our important personal data is stored online and more and more hacks of corporate databases make that data available to the worst people, the need for added security on our online accounts has grown considerably. It’s no longer enough to have a secure, hard to crack password. We now need to enable two-factor/multi-factor authentication (2FA/MFA). These services allow you to use something you have, such as your smartphone, along with something you know, in this case your […]

  8. ¿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?

  11. Parece que no es posible importar las claves de #GoogleAuthenticator en #Aegis si no tienes el móvil rooteado, salvo quizás haciendo cosas muy raras con emuladores en un portátil o usando dos dispositivos y escaneando códigos QR de uno en uno.
    Pero quizás no sea mala idea empezar de cero y que tus códigos 2FA no estén en poder de Google.

  12. If you are like me, then you might have installed the #GoogleAuthenticator app, back in the days when it was the only solution out there for #TOTP #2FA.

    But that is long ago. Since then, #Google has closed-sourced it's solution, forced #cloudsync otto it's users and stores these information unencrypted; plus it's suspected to collect even more data from you than needed. And it's a US BigTech company.

    I've looked into a couple of alternatives and landed with #Aegis and #EnteAuth which are both excellent #free #opensource choices from #europe. I went with @ente because of it's larger platform support.

    So why are you not already using an alternative? It's super easy, and took me less then 10 minutes:
    1. On GoogleAuthenticator go to the ☰
    2. Select transfer codes
    3. Select all the codes you want to transfer --> Google will create a number of QR-Codes, each containing 10 accounts.

    On your alternative say import, and scan the Google codes and you're good to go and can let go of yet another proprietary US BigTech dependency (and thus liability).

    If you are already using a different #TOTP #2FA app on your smartphone, which one is it, and why?

  14. Bin ich eigentlich der einzige, der ständig #GoogleFotos#GoogleAuthenticator verwechselt?

    Die sehen einfach sehr gleich aus.

    (Und: nein, die sind bei mir nicht direkt nebeneinander, hab ich nur für den Screenshot so arrangiert)

  15. On multiple sites my #2FA codes from #GoogleAuthenticator on #Android are now only accepted in roughly the first half of the code window. After that I have to wait until the rollover to a new code. This is very frustrating. Authenticator has almost no settings, certainly nothing to resync the clock. Should I assume it's a configuration issue with the target sites and notify them?

  17. Protip: En #DaleCoopeuch no es obligatorio usar #GoogleAuthenticator , cualquier Generador de tokens TOTP sirve.

  19. As I got a new phone, I'm looking for a secure alternative to #GoogleAuthenticator

    Because AFAIK it stores "seeds" in cleartext, and I try to #degoogle step by step.

    I seem to remember a website which listed (#Android) #Security Tips (I this it was a .sh TLD domain)

    So two questions:

    • Can anyone recommend a Google Authenticator alternative (ideally open source
    • Does anyone know this website?

    Edit: It could be that the website was book.hashbang.sh/ but it doesn't have anything about Google AUthenticator 😞

  21. Ok, I'm going to fully admit I'm not entirely sure how to use #YubicoAuthenticator amongst multiple #YubiKeys vs, say, #Authy or #GoogleAuthenticator after a year+ of off/on looking to try it out.

    Do I need to store the #TOTP seeds on every #YubiKey I own? And they all take up a slot? If so, I'm glad for most high value ones, I've been saving encrypted copies of the initial secret key in my password manager. Is that the way it works, all stored in the keys, and not some DB on each device?

  23. A very special Fuck You to #Google #Googleauthenticator which has such vile dark patterns that all my OTP generation codes are now "backed up" to the cloud

    Under my work account no less, even though it's not the default on that device and I most certainly didn't want that

    If that happens to me with a single stray click, to how many other does it happen without them realizing?

    Let's not mince words here: This reduces the security of my "two factor" to near zero. Fuck everyone involved in this

  27. The official #GoogleAuthenticator #2FA application still doesn't have an option to organise entries by groups or folders; Not an issue if you have 3-4 items on the list, but if there are 50 (private, work etc.)... Solution? Add emojis to color-code same type of records. 🔵🔴🟢

  28. I am meticulous in storing password and user names in bitwarden and also notes on authenticators and recovery codes for my online stuff. BUT I could not authenticate my login to my android app. I set up the to authenticate my proton mail used via firefox in nixos. But not the does not yield valid codes for use on my android phone. Does proton mail only allow ONE authenticator app ?!?!?!? If so this is a calamity.

  30. 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.

  32. A jak już o odgooglowaniu telefonów mowa: jakich aplikacji do generowania kodów uwierzytelniających używacie zamiast Google Authenticatora?

    I jeszcze jedno pytanie: Czy w przypadku banków bez własnych apek obsługujących płatności zbliżeniowe, jest jakaś alternatywa wobec Google Pay/Wallet, czy jak się to teraz nazywa?
