What is Ente Auth?

Ente Auth is a free, open-source app for storing two-factor authentication codes on mobile, desktop and the web. Your codes sync between devices with end-to-end encrypted backups, so losing a phone doesn't lock you out, and it supports icons, tags, offline use and imports from other authenticator apps.

Pros: what Ente Auth does well

  • End-to-end encrypted sync
  • Apps for every major platform
  • Free with no ads

Cons: where it falls short

  • Sync needs an Ente account
  • Fewer sharing features than paid password managers

Who Ente Auth is for

Anyone who uses two-factor codes and wants them backed up safely across devices.

Who can skip it

People whose password manager already stores their two-factor codes.
