One more step to unhitching from Google…
Right now the only option I see in F-Droid is Aegis.
I’m not sure what to actually look for side from checking for unexpected permissions and reasonably frequent updates.
Hopefully something I can sync with a GNOME app…

I used to use 2FAS, but recently switched to a self-hosted instance of Ente
I’ve been using Aegis for several years now without any problems. It replaced the Google Authenticator seamlessly.
keepassxc and a yubikey. And syncthing to keep all devices in sync
Vaultwardwn/bitwarden + a yubikey for bitwarden itself and a few others
I use Aegis on my phone.
since no one mentioned andotp i might have to move away from it…
Adding to the Aegis chorus.
I also use Proton Pass for some sites that aren’t as critical for me / don’t have a bunch of PII. It’s easy.
Aegis seems like a pretty good 2FA app on Android from what I’ve heard. Personally, I use Ente Auth as sync is very helpful when I don’t have my phone nearby (you can either use the desktop app or use your browser, both work). Don’t think you can self-host sync, though I might be wrong. Ente Auth also works without sync, so there’s that.
I would not suggest using a password manager’s 2FA integration (e.g. Bitwarden, I think Proton Pass has one if you use that?) as it kind of defeats the point of 2FA, since if someone got access to your password manager, they would also get the 2FA codes.
Aegis ♥️
I personally use Ente Auth and quite like it, don’t use syncing and save an encrypted copy to my PC. I really like that you can see what the next code will be.
Aegis
I like Aegis.
Authenticator and Authenticator.
Damn thoe innovative tech companies, what will they think of next.
Bitwarden. I don’t self host it, though. $10 a year for password management and 2FA is fine by me.
It’s niche but I like to point it out whenever I get the opportunity: if your workplace uses Bitwarden Enterprise, every licensed user gets a free family plan that can be linked to any account. I haven’t personally paid for BW for years.
Same. Self hosting it sounds nice, and I self host a handful of services, but I don’t want to be stuck without passwords in another country with a dead server at home because a power cut happened at some point.
Bitwarden caches your vault to your device, so you don’t actually need a live connection to the server.
I had fault in my server this summer and my local bitwarden app wouldn’t work without the connection. Same in my laptop, if the connection is blocked by the firewall it doesn’t let me load the vault at all.
Oh, that’s actually good to know. I guess it makes sense for when you don’t have a good connection as well.
As I’ve seen gaming server subscriptions go from £36/y to £23/m (Xbox) in a few years, and cloud CCTV storage from £40/y to £16/m (Google via acquisition of Nest) in a few months, I say we count our stars when a subscription cost remains fair.
Proton Authenticator. Has both Desktop and Mobile apps. Free. Don’t have to sync to Proton.
Do they have a Linux client for the desktop?
deb, rpm and aur-bin
Thanks for the speedy reply. On LMDE so Debian it is.
They have no Linux Drive desktop client, so that was pleasent suprise.
