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.
LoginTC
LoginTC is a multi-factor authentication platform that adds a second verification step to applications and systems. It offers cloud and on-premises plans, and can be deployed in hybrid or air-gapped environments. Authentication methods include push number matching, hardware tokens, authenticator apps, email and SMS passcodes, phone calls, security keys, biometrics, passcode grids, bypass codes, and offline authentication.
Connectors cover RADIUS VPN and remote access, Active Directory and LDAP, Outlook Web App, RD Web Access, Windows Logon and RDP, ADFS, and Entra ID EAM for Office 365. The REST API administers users, tokens, and domain membership and handles authentication sessions, but is limited to LoginTC Cloud deployments. LoginTC also lists adaptive access policies and passwordless authentication.
