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 like EnteAuth because it's really easy to use. It has literally everything I could ask for in an authenticator. If you remember the password, you can use it from any web browser, from your phone, it even has a desktop client. Honestly, it's incredible, and it was well worth my time moving away from Microsoft Authenticator. My favorite two features are that it lets you easily copy the next 30 seconds authentication code in case you know you're not going to make it and you can pin freqent apps to the top.

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.

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)

What is Ente Auth?

Ente Auth is an authenticator app that generates and stores two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens on mobile devices. It securely manages these tokens and reduces the risk of loss or compromise. The app features Secure Backups for encrypted cloud backups, Multi Device Sync for automatic synchronization of 2FA tokens across registered devices, and Offline Mode for generating 2FA tokens without network connectivity. It also includes an Import and Export feature for adding tokens to the app by scanning a QR code, manually entering a 2FA secret, or bulk importing from a file. This feature also allows exporting codes to an unencrypted text file.
