Most PRIVATE 2FA apps

so Google Authenticator is much better than MS. lol how does it compare to Apple's built-in authenticator?

Biometric authentication is a very dangerous, false sense of security. Your face or fingerprint is practically public data, it is very easy to get it. And unlike a real password, you cannot change it. If a hacker gets hold on to it, you are compromised for life. Biometric data is more like a username, not a password. Also, biometric checks are performed by AI, which is inherently probability model based. Probability is not 100% accuracy, it's very easy to trick by hackers. Use AI to aid your work, not to replace it. AI results still require human verification. It's a fool's errand to think otherwise.

What about an authenticator based on DES128 which is an extended version of DES64

I know its a diffrent subject but is keypassdx safe? is it just an android version of keypassxc? ive just got my pixel phone and installed graphine and want to get all the safe apps like password manager email 2fa excreta. ps love your channle recently found it thanks for all the info, much appreciated.

Not sure if I missed it, but I didn't see any recommendation for a 2FA app.

So what should I use for ios then?

great info thanks

What Microsoft is doing is highly illegal in the EU.
I'm AMAZED they get away with it.

Very few people give thoughts on privacy, if you are one, this video will make more sense

Hey there, Free OTP doesn’t work with a well known VPN provider. So it may work with other apps but not all.

When your company's implementation requires Microsoft Authenticator and fails with others, is there a privacy oriented authenticator that behaves like Microsoft's?

I tried Aegis but while it works for other sites where the code is displayed and you type it in the app that needs it, it fails with Ms 2FA apps that display the code, makes you type it on the Ms authenticator and it communicates with the app over the network.

I used a work profile to try and contain MsAuthenticator but it still asked for eccessive rights, so I did not feel quite safe from snooping.

Does this have anything to do with mail merge.

Hold the phone !!! FreeOTP+ fork has an option to back up to ....... dun dun dun................ Google Drive!!!
Kind of defeats the object of degoogling.

Its amazing how tech just keeps recycling old tech and calling it new, its like lessons never learned, I have lived long enough to be in the days of dongles, (security keys), pain in the butt but they did the job

The sad thing is we're using Google's (Alphabet) to learn about privacy. I remember when most things could be forgotten. Not anymore.

Thank you Naomi!!

aegis is the best authenticator

Microsoft is doing the ads for duckduckgoose but is more secure than Google

That’s a great overview! I would have loved to see the iOS build in 2fa password keychain in your list.

Really nice vid.

Google doesn’t need to collect anymore data.. they already have it all 😂

google authenticator now syncs my authenticator codes its cool

How about new Proton Pass in app 2FA stacks up with other open source 2FA?

Simple terms what's the most private and safest authentication app?

Would love a video covering ProtonPass.

Bitwarden?

Thank you very much for helping me out to find a good and private solution for all my 2FA Codes. I started following your videos 2 weeks ago and you really inspired me to care more about my personal privacy rights. e.g. to change my 2FA App and to change my Cloud Space and to check what is really going on, on my Phone, Desktop and other Devices.

Random comment to support... Epic final of the video with all those viruses on the screen 😱🤯😂

Be aware that a lot of QR code readers send everything you scan to the cloud! /o\

What about gnome authenticator?

Re: Authy, I don't think it's enough but they've at least updated their Privacy Notice with effect Aug 10: "We clarified that we do not sell your personal information to, or share your information with, third parties for cross-context behavior advertising."

Also I had trouble figuring out FreeOTP, or getting it to generate a token I could do 2FA with

I have stopped using 2FA on my accounts after nearly losing a couple of important old accounts which had reset on me at the same time I changed to a new phone. The whole back- and forwards compatibility, security process and recovery is poorly thought out.

How do you synchronise across multiple devices without providing your servers with information?

I have a question rgarding Microsoft Authenticator, specifically the "he clicked here, scrolled here" stuff.
Does it collect every finger taps and scrolI make all the time or just the ones i make while Microsoft Authenticator is open?

I like KeepassDX,
aside from passwordmanager, it also supports TOTP

hat if you lose your security key?

Cant wait for Proton Pass to come out it has 2FA too since i cant trust the other apps that much but still i have to be careful of proton too u never know

keepkey is essential... 2fa using sms, or google is risky & less secure in times.

Good Video, On my way to install and use authy

❤😊She's so sweet

These apps are not 'something you have', they are just a second password

so when smartphone A is dead or stolen i must resetting up the login synch and can use the key which had been displayed beside the qr-code right? will just test. no need to restart synching from scratch?

MS authenticator: Wlan needed. Google Auth. NO. all data, search stored in cloud google one.

whats the website that lists the permissions and stuff thats shown in the video pls?

What about self-hosted passbolt?

Which 1 the best for me please 😢

Kosher Cat Authenticator, if it existed, would DEFINITELY be at the bottom of the list of choices. For obvious reasons....

There are some crazy folks out there whose data is also collected. A company that collects data for a large number of people just stores that, among other reasons, for law enforcement to potentially investigate. Just having our data collected isn't necessarily spying. Anyone who spies on me is going to get pretty bored, so I'm not worried that much about privacy especially as I get older. You younger folks in good health are going to figure out that you're not immortal. All living things eventually die, so don't be so paranoid about privacy.

Why you don't mention OTPs on Yubikeys? is the most secure due are not tied to internet?

Raivo on Mac/iOS is open source.

Ummm, don't they NEED your phone and email so they can send you verification codes if you get locked out??
Come on man 😅
