FOSS-alt to Authy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/opensource@lemmy.ml
 

I currently use Authy on my android and my Linux system.

It syncs every new authenticator between my devices but I dont want to trust companies with my security anymore.

I host a nextcloud instance on my homelab. Does anyone know a good FOSS authenticator that can use my nextcloud to sync between Linux and android? Provided that it is available on both of course.

Thanks for any input!

Yeah i had some issues once when i ran all my services inside a VM on TrueNAS. Some config prohibited it from using too much of the CPU and it locked up the Ubuntu install all the time... fun times.

Now i have 3 physical servers and run 36 services and what not...nothing of this is critical for my security though. As there is more to it than just making sure you keep your servers running and accessible. I know how to fix most of the stuff that could go wrong. I don't know how to stop a malicious actor that wants to fuck with me...and there is my dilemma. A big company (in my case 1password) has teams full of security specialists. They are more hard to crack than i could ever be... but since they're big they are also a bigger target. And with their team-size the risk of social engineering also goes up. It's a dilemma^^

Btw. are you the SGG from Garuda-Linux?
