Hey folks, I built this tool while stepping out of my last role. I realized how weird it was to transfer over the accounts to someone else where I owned the 2FA. The only other option is to remove the two-factor authentication completely. Would love any feedback / thoughts on this.

super cool launch, 2FA can definitely add a lot of complexity for enterprise accounts

Thanks for checking it out @cgilbert3. Yes 2FA is added security for enterprise accounts but makes sharing seats / accounts much harder. This app simplifies some of that process without compromising security.

You can do this in 1password using a shared vault with your TOTP secret to generate authenticated tokens. The vault can be shared with your entire team or company. What benefit does this app provide over 1password?

Thanks for sharing that aynawn, I have not tested out 1password, I'll check it out.

Similarly, I was surprised to find that Keeper has this functionality built-in.
