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…

    Aegis.

    I like the auto backup feature (encrypted) . Then the backup is synced to computer via Syncthing.

    Set and forget setup.

      Yah, I can’t see a point to have another app/extension when Bitwarden has it built in, and it’s a great password manager.

          Right under Password in the edit screen of an item: Authenticator Key. You put in the auth key the target site provides you when you enable TOTP and it will start generating timed tokens. Usually you’ll also get a one-time pad of backup keys, I usually toss those in the Notes of the edit screen there as well in case something goes wrong.

    I’ve been using Aegis for several years now without any problems. It replaced the Google Authenticator seamlessly.

    I use pass for my passwords, and it has an otp extension that I’ve been using more and more. I used to use aegis but I have needed to switch phones one too many times without having access to the previous phone to be comfortable with phones for 2fa.

    Of course, this isn’t as secure as a truly separate OTP solution, but it’s still better than no OTP/2FA. And I can easily enough back up and restore my 2fa access over the internet, even on a new computer (albeit I need to also backup a PGP key that can decrypt the password store to truly be portable).

      This is what I do. If someone can figure out pass with my password protected gpg, plus my passwords are partials (I salt them), and otp then they can have my access

        I’m curious how you make that work - do you just remember the salts, store them separately, or what? I have like 50-70 passwords in my store currently, there’s no way I’m remembering a (true random) salt for each one.

      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.

          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.

            bitwarden works fine for me without connection, you just cant update/create passwords

          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.

    I primarily use GNOME Authenticator, but after an inopportune crash, I now also run 2FAuth on my home server as a backup, and now just hope that I remember to do the export/import dance going forward.
