2FAuth
A simple and powerful self-hosted 2FA management tool for enhanced security.
Overview
2FAuth is a robust, open-source solution for managing your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) tokens. Unlike many popular 2FA apps that store your tokens in the cloud or solely on your mobile device, 2FAuth empowers users to self-host their 2FA data. This approach provides unparalleled control over sensitive security information, mitigating risks associated with third-party cloud breaches or device loss.
The tool is built using the Laravel PHP framework for the backend and Vue.js for a responsive frontend, ensuring a modern and efficient user experience. It supports both Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) and HMAC-based One-Time Passwords (HOTP), covering a wide range of services. Users can easily add new tokens by scanning QR codes or entering details manually. Beyond token management, 2FAuth also integrates WebAuthn (FIDO2) for secure login, adding an extra layer of protection to the application itself. Its multi-user capabilities with admin and user roles make it suitable for both individual use and small team environments, promoting secure collaboration.
