Is there any way to emulate aegis authenticator (fdroid) on an ubuntu based computer?

vestmoria@linux.community to Linux@lemmy.ml – 60 points –

ubuntu 23.10

I can access my employer’s local network if I authenticate with a 2fa. They suggest proprietary software, but aegis authenticator (found in fdroid) works fine.

The thing is, the phone’s screen is too small and it’s very cumbersome to navigate the screen and to click. It’s so bad I don’t want to use it, because fonts are so small you cannot read anything. It’s like they didn’t even try to optimize the local network for devices.

However, if I could emulate this app on an ubuntu based computer, I’d use it. Can it be done?

you can just use any other OTP application on Linux like https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator or https://apps.kde.org/keysmith/, they all follow the same protocol
you can export your keys in Aegis and import them in most applications

Of course there is a KDE app that is feature packed and beautiful and no live being has heard or known about.
