Hosted 2fa with android app recommendations

I'm currently using Authy, ever since Google Authenticator didn't
support online backups of your 2fa accounts way back when. I would
like to move away from it to a self-hosted solution. The main things I
need are an android app and a server component to sync to and from. A
desktop client would be a bonus as well. Any recommendations?

I'm using bitwarden for my 2FA codes.
Hosted on my server, with android sync functionality.

The browser and app also have an offline encrypted cache.

I pay the £10 a month for it, a lot of people here also use
vaultwarden.

That'd be great actually since I already use Bitwarden. I've been
eyeing it for self-hosting for a while as well. Do you know if 2fas
are available in vaultwarden at all? 10 quid a month is too steep just
for gaining 2fa functionality.

Ah that's my bad, mean £10 a year.


Yes Vault Warden has 2FA support

You can consider https://ente.io/auth, it provides end to end
encrypted backup.

Disclaimer: I am part of the team that’s developing it.

Thanks for the recommendation. The app looks real tidy. I can't find
the server component on your github though, only the android app.

I use Bitwarden with a hosted Vaultwarden instance.

At $1 a month, I'd rather pay than risk my server dying and losing all
of my passwords (again)

You had no backups?

I had entire VM level backups, it wasn't worth wiping the rest of my
infra for them.

Luckily I had just migrated to Bitwarden cloud the week before as a
backup hahaha
