Generate Two-Factor Authentication Codes on Linux with ‘Authenticator’ for over 290 websites and apps
‘Authenticator‘ is an aptly-named, native, and easy to use two-factor authentication app for the Linux desktop. It’s designed for GNOME-based environments like GNOME Shell, Budgie and MATE, but should work pretty much anywhere else you might need too.
You don’t need a desktop app to use two-factor authentication with your favourite services. It’s just that having one makes using a 2-factor set-up a heck of lot easier. Think of it as a convenience rather than a necessity. So rather than reach for your smartphone each time you need to enter a two-factor authentication code you can open this app on your Linux desktop and copy/paste your code across.
Authenticator supports over 290 websites and apps, including a huge number of well known services, including:
– Amazon
– Evernote
– Dropbox
– ProtonMail
– Facebook
– Google
– Twitter
– Apple
– LastPass
– OneDrive
– Reddit
– Gmail
– YouTube
– Twitch
