What is Ente Auth?
Ente Auth is an open source two-factor authentication app that generates one-time codes for your accounts and backs them up to the cloud with end-to-end encryption. The company says its cryptography has been externally audited.
Apps are available for iOS, Android (Play Store and F-Droid), macOS, Windows, Linux and the web, and codes sync across devices. You can add tokens by scanning a QR code, entering the secret by hand, or bulk importing from other 2FA apps. Tags, pins, notes, service icons, search and a preview of the next code help keep a long list manageable. You can also share codes with teammates through encrypted links.
The app works offline and without an account if you don't want backups. The code is released under AGPL-3.0, and you can export your data at any time. It suits people who want a free authenticator they can audit and move between devices.
