    Have you considered https://authenticator.cc/ ?

    I realize it is amusing to even consider offloading OTP generation to a web browser extension however, if `$work` doesn’t want to provide you with the correct hardware (e.g. Yubikey, NitroKey, etc.) there are boundary-respecting alternatives

    No. It only proves that TOTP, as implemented by mobile apps, is useless against phishing.

    The extension from https://authenticator.cc, with smart domain match enabled, would have caught this by showing all other TOTP codes besides the one intended by NPM.

    On a Mac, Keychain would also have caught this by not autofilling: https://support.apple.com/en-ph/guide/passwords/mchl873a6e72...

    I use a browser extension from https://authenticator.cc/

    While I do not know whether its UX is similar, it does have a sync feature (but not cross-browser), an export feature, can backup its data to Google Drive, can store everything encrypted (but not by default), is recommended by at least one government website (SSS Employer Portal in the Philippines), and is there for a long time. Oh, and it also remembers which site each secret comes from, and hides others.

  • Feature Request: TOTP for MFA
    1 project | /r/LightPhone | 1 Nov 2023
    Currently, I'm using the Authenticator.cc browser extension on the same device for TOTP. However, I imagine security will eventually tighten and running authentication app/protocols on the same device that is logging in wont be an option.

    I've got a situation where we have a couple of staff that can't install MS authenticator; no smartphone. In some ways I'm jealous of them. Anyway, wife's company is of significant size and she passed off their docs on the issue and they use authenticator.cc browser extension for these situations. I tested it myself, and it works. It's just the raw OTP and not a number entry challenge.
