In their own words
Ente Auth
Ente Auth is a free authenticator for storing TOTP and HOTP two-factor codes. It is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and web, with encrypted sync across mobile, desktop, and web devices. Account users can use end-to-end encrypted cloud backups; the maker says the cryptography has been externally audited. Ente Auth is open source and supports importing and exporting codes. Native imports are listed for 2FAS Authenticator, Aegis, andOTP, Bitwarden, Google Authenticator, LastPass, Proton, and Raivo OTP. Codes can be organized with search, tags, pins, notes, multi-select, and custom sorting, or shared through links that expire after 2, 5, or 10 minutes. Exports include plain text, encrypted files, and HTML QR codes compatible with Google Authenticator. The app can be used without an account, but those codes remain on the device and are not synced or backed up to Ente. App lock can use a device lock, PIN, or password; it protects the interface, not by re-encrypting Auth data.
