FreeOTP – An open-source solution for authentication soft tokens
I have used FreeOTP, Google Authenticator, Authy, and LastPass Authenticator. Of those options, I use Authy because it is also free and has hands down the best UX.<p>However, I think that current solutions for soft token two factor authentication (2FA) generally do not provide a good user experience for end users. When trying to login and get work done, it is frustrating that the typical 2FA login flow requires a context switch to a completely different device, especially one that will likely distract you with non-work related notifications and content.<p>That is why I am working on a project called Two Factor Buddy (2FB), which integrates directly with the browser to automate the entry of 2FA codes during the login process with all of your favorite third party services (e.g. Github, Google, AWS, Stripe, etc). This means you can maintain the 2FA level of security on your accounts and get to work more quickly.<p>If 2FB sounds interesting, check out a short screencast of what the login flow looks like using 2FB [1] and add yourself to the email list [2] if you want to get notified when you can try it out.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drive.google.com&#x2F;open?id=0BxEuMs2jIxWfVDlMTmRHTExQSGs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drive.google.com&#x2F;open?id=0BxEuMs2jIxWfVDlMTmRHTExQSG...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;eepurl.com&#x2F;c7OBwj" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;eepurl.com&#x2F;c7OBwj</a>
