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'm in the same boat. And I came across 2FAS (Android) (Website).

It doesn't have a dedicated desktop app, but it does have a browser extension, which I think is the best we're going to get.

I spent a fair amount of time looking around for an alternative when Authy announced they're killing their desktop app. 2FAS is the best I found.

If anyone else has a good suggestion, I'm all ears.

My requirements:

  • Android App
  • Desktop App (Linux only)
  • Synchronization between the two
  • (not a hard requirement) FOSS, or at least just Open Source

I'd be willing to pay for a decent solution.

I didn't realize it at the time, but Authy locks you in with no way to export your tokens. There are unofficial scripts on GitHub, but I haven't tried them yet.

Edit: specified Linux desktop. I don't use Windows.
