    Best TOTP authenticator out there. FOSS and you maintain access to your codes so if you want to move to different one, you can simply export and go (unlike Authy and others)

    I like Ente Auth because it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s open source, free, and doesn’t require an account to use. It also supports local backups, which I really appreciate as an Aegis user. The team has done a great job with this tool, and visually it looks great.

Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Ente Auth is highly praised for its ease of use, end-to-end encryption, and multi-device support, making it a strong privacy-focused alternative to Authy, Microsoft Auth, and Google Auth. Users appreciate its ad-free operation, open-source nature, cross-platform availability, and comprehensive features like synchronization and desktop support. However, some users express concerns about the need to create an account and its development in India. The app is noted for addressing user issues promptly, though improvements in UI density and additional features like biometric locks are suggested.

A great part of Ente ecosystem. End-to-end encrypted, FOSS (open-source) and externally audited.

I was looking for an offline-only, local 2FA app for Windows—and this one delivers perfectly. It works flawlessly, supports a wide range of import options from various services, and being open-source is a huge plus. The interface is clean and no-nonsense. I absolutely love it.

What is Ente Auth?

Ente's Authenticator app helps you generate and store 2 step verification (2FA) tokens on your mobile devices.

Features:

  • SECURE BACKUPS Ente provides end-to-end encrypted cloud backups so that you don't have to worry about losing your tokens. We use the same protocols ente Photos uses to encrypt and preserve your data.

  • MULTI DEVICE SYNC ente will automatically sync the 2FA tokens you add to your account, across all your devices. Every new device you sign into will have access to these tokens.

  • OFFLINE MODE ente generates 2FA tokens offline, so your network connectivity will not get in the way of your workflow.

  • IMPORT AND EXPORT You can add tokens to ente by one of the following methods:

  • Scanning a QR code

  • Manually entering (copy-pasting) a 2FA secret

  • Bulk importing from a file that contains a list of codes in the following format:

otpauth://totp/ACCOUNT?secret=SUPERSECRET&issuer=SERVICE

The codes maybe separated by new lines or commas. You can also export the codes you have added to Ente, to an unencrypted text file, that adheres to the above format.
