show 2FA secret code along with QR

Open robertolopezlopez opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I want to set up 2FA authentication from my phone, mbin is showing me a QR code + secret codes. In my case, my 2FA authentication tool does not have camera support. Instead, I need to enter the setup secret code manually. The issue here is: mbin does not offer me this setup secret code.

This is the 2FA tool I use -> https://www.keepassdx.com/

Describe the solution you'd like Show setup secret code along with the QR.

Describe alternatives you've considered Switching to other 2FA authenticator such as Google Authenticator.

Before you use Google Authenticator, please consider Aegis or FreeTOTP+ But of course we should add a way to display the secret codes

Thanks @BentiGorlich, Google Auth is just the first option which I thought while writing the issue. On any desktop password manager with TOTP support we would run into the same problem (as far as I know - this is also an issue on KeePassXC for example).

@BentiGorlich : ~~I can see that some days ago the PR was merged already - does that fix this issue?~~ false alarm, the PR is not merged yet :)

Thanks! 👍

I also strongly recommend Ente Auth.
