Aegis Authenticator is a free and open-source two-factor authentication (2FA) app for Android that helps users secure their online accounts by generating cryptographic one-time passwords (OTPs) such as TOTP and HOTP codes. Unlike many proprietary MFA apps, Aegis is designed with user privacy and local control in mind, storing secrets only on the device in an encrypted vault protected by PIN or biometric unlock, and offering features like backups encrypted with a user-chosen passphrase. ...

...Indeed, users are solely responsible for their data. TigerSafe also enables you to store the 2-factor authentication mechanism mostly used by modern websites (TOTP 2FA) in a secure way. Since TigerSafe is particularly sensitive, no binary installation file is provided (because it could be infected by a virus, or have a vulnerability in its dependencies such as the JDK implementation used). Instead, installation instructions are provided, and a YouTube video for Windows.

...Because secrets are stored on the device and codes are computed locally, it works even without a data connection and avoids server-side dependencies. The UI focuses on clarity and safety cues—timers, account naming, and basic management—to make 2FA adoption accessible to non-experts. For developers, the project doubles as a reference implementation of OTP enrollment, storage, and code generation on Android.

Google Authenticator is the open-source counterpart of Google’s one-time passcode apps, implementing industry-standard OATH algorithms such as TOTP (time-based) and HOTP (counter-based) for two-factor authentication. The repository historically hosts code for mobile platforms like iOS and BlackBerry, demonstrating how to generate numeric codes locally without needing network access. Its core purpose is to help services and users add a second factor that’s simple to deploy yet resistant to...
