Not as good as Ente yet but they've worked out all the major issues since first launch and now I use this as backup. It's easily the 2nd best behind Ente and the only other TOTP authenticator I recommend.

Comments and Reviews
I'm truly honored to be using this app right from version 1.0.0, mere hours after it was announced on the site. The sync feature with my Proton account is a game-changer. UI/UX-wise, it's as smooth as Proton's other offerings. That said, the icon selection is limited and non-customizable at the moment. Still, it meets my needs perfectly for a v1 release, working great on both desktop and mobile. I've tried tons of auth apps in the past—Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Ente Auth, 2FAS, Aegis, you name it—but I'm switching to Proton full-time, with Ente as my backup plan.
Not as good as Ente yet but they've worked out all the major issues since first launch and now I use this as backup. It's easily the 2nd best behind Ente and the only other TOTP authenticator I recommend.
I like proton authentificator because its the only authentificator that also runs on windows and where i can sync the codes encrypted between my phone and laptop. And its pretty basic
