Nevertheless I chose my Yubikey instead.
Yubikey on a phone?
Yes, it's relatively convenient with NFC.
Yep. Just download the Yubico Authenticator app. Your OTPs wont show up unless you tap your physical Yubikey to your phone's NFC chip.
Only downside is, the Yubico Authenticator only allows 32 accounts. So i have my most important accounts on there.
Any iOS alternatives? Couldn’t find either of these in the App Store.
Bitwarden has been working well for me on iOS. It’s a paid feature though. $10 a year I think
Bitwarden has a 2fa function?i didn't know it. But I don't fully trust online apps for storing passwords though. A server can always be exploited
Bitwarden uses end to end encryption. This severely reduces the risk their infra is attacked. The encryption keys exist on your devices only so it’s impossible to read the server side data.
The only real question is how much you trust Bitwarden as a company. Are they completely lying about E2EE to customers and auditors? If not, then Bitwarden is a good choice.
Oh and ya, it’s has a one time passcode function. Works great! It will even autofill into OTP fields… sometimes 🙂
+1, well worth the 10 bucks.
I reccommend ente auth. privacyguides.org added it a while ago.
Yeah, FreeOTP exports are broken. Can't import them back to FreeOTP, can't import them to another application. I've spent 2 hours writing a script to decrypt the export manually, the resulting codes are not accepted anywhere probably because ciphers are not written to the file properly. I've been going around restoring accounts for the past month. Fuck FreeOTP.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
