Taking the 2 out of 2FA since 2017!</sarcasm>

Thanks for sharing a potentially useful tool but I will not use it without a lot more details about how this browser extension secures the 2FA secrets from sketchy websites/ads.

  • Most trusted desktop password manager apps can manage and autofill OTPs in browsers as well, e.g. KeepassXC and 1password. (If you're making the tradeoff anyway, I think you may as well use a password manager you already trust with other secrets.)

    • keepassxc does great with TOTP codes, but the default client isn't the easiest to add them with.
