    It offers the same functionality as other open source TOTP apps, but additionally offers plain-text (unencrypted) and encrypted backups of your configured TOTP accounts. This app also features a dark mode for nicer view. Besides that, the app offers a lot of different icons to apply to every TOTP entry, so you can find your desired entry easier, if you have a lot in total. To make finding the specific entry even easier, you can assign tags to them, as well.

    I like it because it is open source. It has good features. More secure. And doesn't have useless features unlike google auth while has more good features.

    OVault is a super simple OTP app that lets you view and manage OTPs for all your accounts. Set up OTPs by scanning QR codes with your devices Camera App, or by manually providing the OTP secret to the app.
