Google Authenticator Alternative (lemmy.world)

Hello. As the title says, do you know some Authenticator alternatives? I've found out Aegis and Bitwarden authenticators so far, even if they're not European alternatives, they're still FOSS though.

I'd like to know what your opinion?

I don't get it with these. If it's FOSS why would the country of origin matter? All source is available and anyone can freely fork it? You don't even pay anything in the first place so not like boycotting these types of projects has any effect?

The thing is... would you trust a software that is developed in russia (without a full code audit)? I think at the moment its the same with anything coming from the US.

[–] Shayeta 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you can't audit the code then it's closed source and not FOSS.

That is not what i meant, what i wanted to say is: "Would you trust software from Russia without having completely audited the code?".

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

If people I do trust are saying they have checked the code and it's good, then yeah.

I basically never audit ANY software I use. I trust those in communities I frequent that say they have.
