Depending how locked down your work AD is; andOTP can scan and generate 6-digit codes which Microsoft support.

andOTP is unmaintained, I would recommend Aegis

Do you have any opinions on 2fas.com ?

It should be Sylvia Van Os, I'm aware the original website gets it wrong too but Von OS makes it sound like she changed her name because of some sort of Open Source fanaticism.

Almost, her website[1] spells it "Sylvia van Os", with a lowercase "v". In the Netherlands the spelling is mostly "van", in Belgium they use "Van" [2]. [1] https://sylviavanos.nl/ [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_(Dutch)#Collation_and_capi...

Good point, I can no longer fix it unfortunately. In Belgium you can also have both van and Van so it's not only Van.

Both in dutch (van) or french (de, d') in small caps in a name, indicate nobility.

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.

What email client are you using?

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…

If you use bitwarden/vaultwarden as password manager you can manage TOTP either on web or via browser plugin with it. In my limited testing with office365/teams a few days ago it worked.

Wikipedia says that's not true:

> The German "von" is a linguistic cognate of the Dutch "van", however, unlike the German "von", the Dutch "van" is not indicative of the person's nobility or royalty. Van has a history of being used by commoners and nobility alike to simply signify ancestral relation to a particular place, (e.g. Willem van Oranje "William of [the] Orange [family]"; Jan van Ghent "John [who hails] from Ghent").

For what its worth, my banking app has worked without a problem on GrapheneOS with the sandboxed play store. Truly loving it. (I also went in with a backup and would suggest it just in case).

My two banking apps have run fine on LineageOS with microG. There are plenty of other things that don't work, but the banking apps are fine.

Thank you; I had missed that. Aegis is also great; but always a pity to loose such a trouble free piece of software.

Thankfully, Aegis imports andOTP vaults with no trouble.

The case was correct, but I misspelled "van" as "von"... how embarassing! Fixed on the website.
