I’m trying to move away from Authy since they’re ending support for their desktop app, and I thought Aegis would be the right app for me to jump to, but it doesn’t seem to have a desktop app. So I’m wondering what FOSS apps the rest of you use for Desktop and Mobile 2FA?

    I’ve seen people say this, but what makes your phone so much safer than your computer?

      It’s the second factor that adds security. Aka “something you have”.

      If you use totp on your phone to log into an app on your phone yah it’s true it’s not much more secure (although I would argue app isolation does make it more secure) but using your phone to provide totp for your desktop proves that second factor.
