There's also the pass-otp extension that generates OTPs!

The pass android app is really nice too

It also works in termux

Thank you for sharing. My solution has been to dump small scripts like this in ~/bin:

    #!/bin/sh
    
    set -eu
    
    k=$(pass ARG)
    oathtool -b --totp "$k"

And no, those apps don't work great, because they involve some clunky GPG app.

  • Agreed, GPG is not the most intuitive tool, but once you are familiar enough with it, it opens some doors.

    For me termux and pass (from F-droid) have solved my password management for many years. I never have to struggle finding passwords. The security aspect of it is the least I care about, it's the convenience and simplicity of it.

    Since the passwords are all just files on a disk inside a directory tree, you can use any old file system tools to find your passwords. Same for MFA. I store the base32 string inside pass and that's the end of it.
