You cant easily export your codes into a different format using this app, meaning that it is difficult to migrate away once you have already moved your codes over.
Other than the (hopefully temporary) lock-in, this is a great app.
I don't see people mention this enough, but iCloud Keychain generates TOTPs. I've been migrating all of my accounts slowly to just use the built-in Apple Passwords functionality. In Safari, right click on TOTP QR codes.
And when Apple's automated systems disable your account you're locked out of your accounts.
I'm waiting for bitwarden or aegis export capability before trying this out.

There is also an option to view / export individual QR codes.
Let me know what we could do better, would love to do better.

Owky is short for “Own your keys”. Therefore the user owns the data - can easily be exported, and there’s no server sync (on purpose). No iCloud sync, nothing.
The app needs some love indeed, but it’s in a usable state.
Hello, one of the folks working on Ente Auth here. Thanks for putting us on the frontpage! To give some context, we built Auth for ourselves because we wanted a product that was cross-platform, open source[1] and offered end-to-end encrypted backups[2]. Since launch[3], the product has undergone iterations[4][5]. Auth is now available on Android, iOS, Linux, Mac and Windows[6]. We also have a read-only companion app…

Any plans to release an Apple Watch app? That’s my one requirement for a 2FA app.
I will never forgive Authy/Twillio for deliberately making exports impossible.
Tangentially: I just got rid of Authy, it took me 2h to to migrate everything, moved to apple passwords (yea yea, still propriatary) which has a so far solid export feature. I will never forgive Authy/Twillio for deliberately making exports impossible.
This makes me want to restart working on Owky - my 2FA open-source pet project. Owky is short for “Own your keys”. Therefore the user owns the data - can easily be exported, and there’s no server sync (on purpose). No iCloud sync, nothing. The app needs some love indeed, but it’s in a usable state.
edit: simple in terms of only ever needing to compile/validate the thing for linux (arm + intel)

sounds more simple than Ente's Auth; for instance I can see having a simple totp record-keeping app on an internet-less rpi or similar (or highly restricted networking where an auth'd user can only webui interface with some backup/restore feature when blue-green'ing the device), integrated with some built in (touch)?screen to select/search service-account to read totp from and adding-new via screen as well. edit: sim…
If you have an RPi that is accessible over a network, you could self host it as well: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/
