Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don’t want to give them my phone number just to log in.
Last year, we announced our commitment to require all developers who contribute code on GitHub.com to enable two-factor authentication (2FA)…
You can try aegis if you’re on Android, open source, local, great
Also OTPclient on desktop, it can work directly with an Aegis encrypted export file. You enter the decrypt password when you open the app and it can auto-lock after a specified interval.

If you’re willing to work with unencrypted exports I think
tauthycan import unencrypted Aegis JSON format.Also, what Aegis exports as “text format” is a standard format of sorts that consists in lines of
otpauth://URLs. There are lots of apps that can import that format, but please note that you lose some extra information from Aegis when you export in that format. Shouldn’t be a problem if you just want to be able to generate codes on desktop.Aegis looks great - I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!
Happy to help
