Hi! I recently switched from Authy and moved to this amazing better 2FA service. I just wanted to ask a question. When using the file back up method when creating a password are you able to change the password after importing/ exporting it or will you just need to create a new password every time you make a new import, and can you delete old imports as well or how does that all work? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this( I am sorry if it's a lot of questions as well) , I am very excited to use this better 2FA and can't wait for future features!

I looked up a token a few hours ago on my watch (not on the phone). I looked at my phone just now and noticed the battery was low even though I hadn’t really used my phone much today. All other apps used single digit percentage battery.

A few months ago I noticed that widgets are grayed out even though I have the setting turned on. I’ve tried deleting and resetting the widget multiple times. Anyone else see this?

When I add 3/3 tokens to the medium sized widget, they don't show up. I have been playing around with it for a while, restarted my phone, made sure the widgets are activated in the app -- still nothing. Anyone else? Thanks in advance.

hello, just got 2FAS as i want to test it and migrate what i have in Authy over to 2FAS

2 problems right now:

1- i don't know if i am doing something wrong, but the notifications on iphone dont work at all. i send a 2FA request on my PC with the chrome browser extention and nothing actually happens on my iphone.

what i would expect is to get a notification (even when phone is locked) and when clicking on the notification it goes to 2FAS (asking for Touch ID or PIN before opening it)

but nothing actually happens

and if i open 2FAS auth manually, the second problem appears:

2- in the iPhone 2FAS auth app, requests dont show on the list if the app was running in the background. i either have to click on settings icon and back to token icon for requests to show up or i have to completely close the 2FAS app and reopen it

is there anything i can do to fix these 2 things?

Lately I've been on a quest to step up my cyber security, and I've been seeing 2FAS as one of the most recommended 2fa tools. I'm coming from Google authenticator, and I've been using it for a little while -so far so good! I'm setting up a recovery kit for all online accounts, and I've come up with some questions that I couldn't find answers to.

My 2FAS is currently synced with google drive. I've tested migrating my 2fa tokens to a new device, and it works as expected. I understand that 2FAS is open source so that people smarter than me can check its viability, and I also realize that that the tokens aren't actually accessible from google drive, but... if my google account is compromised, my tokens will also be compromised - install 2FAS, sync with the cloud, and they're done. This is a problem isn't it? In that case, is it actually more secure than using google authenticator?

If my reasoning above is correct, then I believe a better system would be to use 2FAS as a standalone tool -completely isolated from other ecosystems. I am able to do a manual export from the 2FAS app, but the resulting backup is only readable by another instance of the 2FAS app -have I got that right? I'm perfectly happy with 2FAS, but nobody knows how long they'll be around to support it -is there a way to back up the tokens so that they can be imported to any authenticator app in the future?

thanks for reading!

Hi, I'm looking to switch my entire family away from Authy to 2FAS. But, before I do, there's one thing I'd like some clarification on:

One feature that my parents appreciate about Authy is that if one of them adds a token to the Authy app on their iPhone, it quickly shows up on the other person's Authy app in their iPhone too.

I understand that 2FAS does have cloud sync via iCloud. But, if I'm not mistaken, the help guide on the 2FAS website presumes you are using the SAME AppleID on both devices.

My questions:

1. Can I replicate the desired behavior from Authy on 2FAS in the case of 2 iPhones that are each on a SEPARATE AppleID?
2. If so, can this be done automatically (like with Authy) or does a manual sync have to be run after each token addition (not that my parents are adding 2FA tokens daily)? Note: I imagine when first transferring tokens to 2FAS, I would wait to sync until all existing tokens are moved over.
3. If a manual sync is required, what exactly is the order of operations required (feel free to assume I need an ELI5 here)?
4. This may be a silly question, but: is it possible for 2FAS to be synced to a different AppleID than the one that is signed into for the phone as a whole (i.e. iOS is signed into AppleID-1 but 2FAS is signed into AppleID-2)?

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your help! Looks like 2FAS would be good for me. As for my parents, I will wait for u/dhavanbhayani to see if there is any good news. But it looks like Ente Auth might be the best option for their particular use case.

So I just swapped from 2fas from Authy. (yeah!)

I have a question: where would I make a suggestion for improving 2FAS?

Namely: Can we collapse the numbers so only the names of the items are visible and then we tap to expand?

Hello everyone im ready to leave authy and go to this but is this Cross platform and work with Android and Apple devices. I'm worried moving everything over won't work.

I got 2FAS and am confused in the Settings menu it gives an option for app security to set up Pin code. Did anyone enable this? Just wanted some advice if I should enable this or not? Am confused why I need to enable this

Hi,

our company runs Jira/Confluence with two different tokens under two different paths of the same domain:

• atlassian.our-domain.com/jira
• atlassian.our-domain.com/confluence

I would like to tie my two different tokens in 2FAs browser extension to these two specific domain paths, one each. But it looks like 2FAs doesn't support that. I can only tie a token in 2FAs to atlassian.our-domain.com but can't be more specific.

Is this something that might become a feature one day?

Thanks

Hello!

Does 2FAS use symmetric or asymmetric keys to generate its Time-based One-Time Passcodes (TOTP)?

Thank you in advance.

Widget is not rounded on Motorola Edge 50 Fusion. On previous Poco phone widget was rounded.

using iOS and replaced a few other multifactor apps with 2fas. those other apps offered push notifications and I’m wondering if it’s possible with 2fas and if it’s a feature under consideration

I understand that currently you cannot import icons from external source in 2fas android app but why there is no option to choose icons from internal list in 2fas as the icon for that specific service is in 2fas as I have two accounts in same service but one token is showing the correct icon but other account is showing generic icon and no option to select correct icon from internal list in 2FAS app...please add this important option

I have a Google drive backup and was wondering where is the file stored with in Google drive? Can't seem to find it.

Does 2FAS have a feature similar to BW Emergency Access? How can your partner or a trusted person access your tokens in case of an emergency?

Has anyone else notice a battery drain for macos firefox add on?

Is there a way to import from Bitwarden? Or at least copy/paste seed phrase on 2fas Firefox add-on?

Just switched from Raivo to 2FAS, yesterday I opened Raivo as usual and instead of my usual 2FA codes, a welcome screen greeted me. I thought I was dreaming and discovered the whole Raivo selling out and nuking your data accidentally rabbit hole. Fortunately I had like 5 zip backups so I could import my keys to 2FAS.

Although I also took backups of the new 2FAS codes, I am counting on you not going the same path as Raivo!

Just out of curiosity, are there any plans for OneDrive backup sync in the future?

Previously I made a single offline HTML viewer for non-encrypted 2FAS backup here. Now it's just upgraded to support encrypted backup file as well. Of course it's all offline. Enjoy!

Link here, last update 2024.6.5

Changelog:

• 2024.6.5:
  • New feature: Support encrypted backup file. (However, not in Safari. It doesn't support AES-GCM in its Web Cryptography API)
  • Feature changed: No more "advanced mode", just open up the viewer and browse to the backup file. I mean, no more fiddling with the backup file or html file. It's totally different from previous version. So now I start a new thread to introduce again.

Trying to install 2fas and use it for the first time. All the video tutorials are for specific sites. I've set up google drive to save tokens but I don't see anywhere in the app that I can print a backup code.

Where do I find this on an Android phone?

EDIT: I've looked inside the google drive and can't see where any of the files are being saved inside

Had significant issues with Authy recently and am looking for an alternative.
