A web app to manage your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) accounts and generate their security codes
2FAuth is a web based self-hosted alternative to One Time Passcode (OTP) generators like Google Authenticator, designed for both mobile and desktop.
It aims to ease you perform your 2FA authentication steps whatever the device you handle, with a clean and suitable interface.
Most of the UIs for this kind of apps show tokens for all accounts in the same time with stressful countdowns (in my opinion) I wanted my 2FA accounts to be stored in a standalone database I can easily backup and restore (did you already encountered a smartphone loss with all your 2FA accounts in Google Auth? I did...) I hate taking out my smartphone to get an OTP when I use a desktop computer I love coding and I love self-hosted solutions Main features
