    Ente Auth is the best 2FA TOTP manager because it shows each next minute’s upcoming TOTP, so if you’re too late to the current minute but don’t want to wait for the next minute’s code to show, you can already start reading and prepping the next 6 digits.

      Holy shit why don’t other auth apps have that! It’s nice to get a warning that I only have 5 seconds to use the code, but how about I start typing the next code in those 5 seconds!

        Probably because the 2FA spec recommends allowing the previous and next TOTP too. (both to account for this need to hurry and to account for time drift)

        Yes, this feature alone makes it stick out above all the other competition. I immediately left Aegis and never looked back, haha.

          Guess what! You can enable it in the Aegis settings: Appearance->Show next code

          Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I never would have known it was there!

            I had no idea myself. Why don’t they make this the default?! Well, Ente Auth specifically had an Aegis database import feature, so it was painless to move and I still think Ente’s font sizes are better sized to me.

            so instead of waiting the 5sec to then copy&paste as fast as if you copy the next code and then wait 5 seconds at the input field for paste the code…
            in the app I can at least see the exact time…

            (so i also used this feature once… the only advantage is… if someone is watching unnoticed, they would have a longer time span… the “someone” could also be something from the government…)

                    better not. if it is related to heliboard, i would have to reset mine from the settings. as far as privacy is concerned, first of all it depends on from whom. against silent sms etc. you can’t really do anything except not use the devices. of course, this concerns the secret trojan installation of states towards the citizen.

        Oh. Well, too late; I already moved! Aegis’s 2-column font was too small anyway, and I still have concerns about Proton being a honeypot.
