Right now I have put LineageOS on my old tablet together with F-Droid and Termux. When used with its keyboard case this makes for a suprisingly capable device. It is small and lightweight and I can use it to get actual coding work done. It is basicly my traveling laptop now. On F-Droid, these FOSS offerings of apps can be amazing. Trying to find a piano app for my baby. The once in Playstore pieces of ad delivery sho…

Why is it a problem that it's unmaintained? It's not like the TOTP standard is a moving target.
Tightly integrating into device bio-metrics whilst protecting secrets from advisories is very much a moving target.
FDroid is fantastic, all the apps are straight to the point, most of my utilities are now from there, email client, vpn client, call, sms, IM, browser, ... If I need something I start from there. I would love to go for LineageOS or GrapheneOS, just trying to make sure I have banking apps backup in an older phone before fully committing to it.

andOTP is unmaintained, I would recommend Aegis
Do you have any opinions on 2fas.com ?
I do in pirinciple like that their browser extension works in conjunction with their phone app.

What email client are you using?

Can't you just not use the bio-metrics option for andOTP? Honest question. I tried Aegis, but still prefer andOTP.

I checked them out last week. They claim to be the internet's favorite open source 2fa app (or some similar wording). The trouble is they only just became open source and there is no evidence to support the claim. They are open source so I don't want to spread FUD but for my own personal use case I found the project a bit dubious. Like what else are they not being honest about? I do in pirinciple like that their brow…
Frankly, our mom’s white lie just kept us together somehow and fueled the fire for development and growth. We were able to work it out with ourselves, process things on a different level, finally be at peace during a tough period of our adolescence…
Now, it’s true our therapist said last week we should probably get over it. - Finally, come clean and face the fact that you’re not actually, indeed the Internet’s favorite open-source app - he said smugly. But it’s a hard pill to swallow, y’know. Especially coming from a guy who we pay to listen to us moan about Authy and Aegis all the time… we should probably just do it the Metallica way and fire the guy. He feels like he’s part of the band, it’s too much… But, we digress!
We needed a push, a spark - AN INTERVENTION. And… you gave us just that. We solemnly swear to work it out with our mom to change that marketing claim on our website. We think it’s time. It probably is.
How about… OUR MOM’S FAVORITE OPEN SOURCE 2FA?
5 upvotes and it’s going live for a week. 20 upvotes and we’re keeping it till the end of May :slightly_smiling_face:

Gosh darn it, you got us! It’s true, it has to be said… our claim is a complete marketing BS, a statement which our mom said when we were down and beat over a break-up in high school a few years back. Truth be told, we’re actually the highest-rated open-source 2FA app on both major app stores… but it still technically may not be true. Frankly, our mom’s white lie just kept us together somehow and fueled the fire for…

I sympathize. Some incorrect usage just seems immutable. No matter how simple a matter it is to understand, no matter the effort needed to fix it, it just cannot be changed. For instance, in English, the incorrect use of the apostrophe to indicate an acronym plural, DVD's instead of DVDs . This misusage is so entrenched that even as I type this my Android phone's speller is trying to make me use the incorrect form! A…
> For instance, in English, the incorrect use of the apostrophe to indicate an acronym plural, DVD's instead of DVDs. This misusage is so entrenched that even as I type this my Android phone's speller is trying to make me use the incorrect form! It's not as clear-cut as you think - that's a borderline case - many people view it as falling under the "small words" or "symbol" categories of appropriate use of the apostr…
