What authenticator app do you use? How do you backup? Any open source self hosted options?

      +1 for aegis. Keep my secret codes in an encrypted backup file just in case

    I usually just use KeePassXC, which is open source and self hosted (kinda). It’s synced over onedrive, though something like syncthing would work fine too.

    No backups per-se, but onedrive should handle accidentally deleted files, and the database is on a few machines anyway so the chances of anything permanently happening to all copies are rather slim.

    I use both Aegis and VaultWarden (self-hosted). Both can be backed up locally or synced.

    I use Aegis, which automatically backs up with each change to the database to a folder that gets synced to a couple of different computers via syncthing.

    For backup codes, I have a separate keypass database that’s backed up to a couple of places. I thought about using Bitwarden for this backup, but having my 2FA backups in the same place as my passwords kinda defeated the point, IMO.

    Anyway, this system has worked well for me.

    Yubico Authenticator and Aegis depending on the importance of the account. I have a secondary Yubikey for quick access backups and a keepass database exclusively for my TOTP keys that I backup to my nextcloud server in real time with versioning. Similarly, I backup my Aegis backups with the nextcloud app.

    I use Aegis for 2FA and keepassdx for password management. Syncthing keeps everything synced across devices without any effort on my part.

    2FAS, because it’s fucking beautiful (UI, dark mode, lovely site logos). It has a couple backup options. Also using Bitwarden (paid feature) for less important sites; it’s quicker but I prefer my 2FA truly separate from passwords.

      This looks great! Was going to give it a try, but it doesn’t pull in the service name when importing from Aegis. I don’t want to try it bad enough to manually edit every entry. Lol.

    I use the open source BitWarden password manager as a self hosted service and I am using its otp feature as it is really handy
