What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens? (lemmy.ml)

Hey!

I basically want to replace the Google Authenticator app in style and functionality:

List all TOTP tokens and their validity time (with a name and order I decide).
Allow me to periodically or on change back up the whole thing to some off-site storage, keeping the last N backups.
Have a native app for Android or an actually good PWA.
Don’t do magic bullshit like fetching icons, hide tokens, etc.
Be actually secure (i.e. don’t roll your own auth)
Just be a TOTP manager, and nothing more! No, I’m not interested in a password manager, thank you. I also don’t want any other OTP methods I don’t use.
Don’t be a one-man projects where the availability is not clear in >1 year.

Any experience is welcomed. Thank you!

I'm using FreeOTP from F-droid and imho it suffices if you're going to use a phone app at all. The ability to back up OTP keys in principle defeats the concept of 2FA but it's hard to live without, once you have enough keys. The thing about retain last N backups is hard to enforce without special arrangements in your backup scheme.

+1 for FreeOTP+ - been using it for a while and it does everything I need.

Though development seems to have ceased for a few years now

Hmmm.

I've just noticed that FDroid FreeOTP (no "+") is newer (updated 3 weeks ago) than FreeOTP+ (updated 2 years ago)... which I thought it was a fork of...

Ok, thanks, I might have to reassess...

@solrize@lemmy.ml - I presume you're using the non-plus version??
