Ente Auth vs Zoho OneAuth

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.

Zoho OneAuth is a free authenticator for Zoho work accounts and personal online accounts. It supports time-based one-time passwords, push approvals, and QR-code login; Zoho accounts can also use passwordless sign-in. For organizations, Zoho Directory lets IT administrators configure multifactor authentication across employees’ Zoho accounts. OneAuth also supports third-party accounts such as Google, Adobe, Github, Zoom, X, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

A passphrase can help restore access after a device is lost or reset, or the app is removed, and can synchronize OTP codes across devices. Encrypted backup and multi-device sync are supported. Biometrics can unlock the app, while remote logout removes unwanted sessions. A sign-in restriction can block future logins to a Zoho account until disabled. The app is available for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS, and supports phones, tablets, laptops, smart watches, and desktops. Its listed free plan includes time-based OTP authentication, backup and recovery, multi-device support, and passwordless Zoho sign-in.
