After Authy scrapped its support for the desktop client, I’m looking for an alternative. Sadly, this does not look like it.
Why?
I do not see a desktop client.
Ah. I only use a phone app, but I see the problem.
Ente.io is working on a desktop app. Whilst its experimental, you can get it from the releases page on their github
I use Authenticator on Linux. I'm not sure what OS you use, but perhaps there's another, TOTP is a pretty easy protocol to implement (it's basically just a hash of a key and timestamp).
I would like an app for desktop and phone/tablet that are syncing, just like Authy did, before they abandoned the desktop app.
So, for me that means: iOS/iPadOS and macOS
I'm in the same boat. I'm a paid Bitwarden user but I'd like to keep 2fa and passwords separated.
If no alternative soon, i'll just bite the bullet and put everything in bitwarden (except itself, ofc)
