Features: Device synchronization, modern user-interface and backups. The main advantages are the browser extensions that enable one-tap authentication and no need to switch between devices. Token import available from: Google authenticator, Aegis, Raivo OTP and LastPass.

A covered pick. Anyone can use it as a private drop-in, with no setup or know-how. Enough for most people. Threat levels

Our take

2FAS earns its place with the browser-extension trick: one tap on the desktop instead of grabbing your phone and squinting at a six-digit code. It is open source and cross-platform, though leaning on browser extensions and device sync adds a little more moving machinery than a stripped-down offline app. Choose it if the desktop one-tap convenience genuinely fits your day; if you would rather keep everything offline on one device, a simpler app suits you better.

Measures the security configuration of the tool's own website, not the privacy of the product itself. A strong tool can still score low here.

2FAS alternatives

2FAS license, in plain English
GPL-3.0
Strong copyleft

Free to use and modify, but anything you distribute that is built on it must also be open under the same license.

Permits

  • Commercial use
  • Modification
  • Distribution
  • Patent use
  • Private use

Requires

  • Disclose source
  • Same license
  • State changes
  • License and copyright notice

Does not provide

  • Liability cover
  • Warranty

Why it matters: Strong copyleft keeps every distributed version open. A vendor cannot fold this into a closed product and ship it without releasing their changes.
