What TwoFac is

TwoFac is an open-source authenticator for generating one-time passwords for online accounts. It supports TOTP and HOTP, with TOTP codes generated on the device without an internet connection. Apps and tools are available for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, the web, Chrome and Firefox, Wear OS, watchOS, and the command line. The source code is released under the MIT license and available on GitHub. TwoFac supports encrypted backups and multi-device sync; its maker says a passkey encrypts secrets and backups before storage or transfer. The app says it does not send personal data, usage statistics, or crash reports to a central server. Android and iOS apps support biometric authentication, while browser extensions support WebAuthn or passkeys. Wearable apps cache codes offline and sync accounts when connected. The CLI manages accounts, shows auto-refreshing codes, creates encrypted backups, and can pipe OTP codes into scripts. A free plan is listed as free, with no premium tiers or ads.
