Shield Authenticator

An open source TOTP (Time-based One Time Password) Android app.

What is TOTP

It is a security protocol used to generate a unique password that changes every certain amount of time (usually 30 or 60 seconds) and can only be used once. TOTP is commonly used in two-factor authentication (2FA) systems, where users are required to provide a password along with a TOTP code to verify their identity. The TOTP code is generated using a shared secret key and the current time, ensuring that the code is valid only for a short period of time and cannot be reused by an attacker.

Shield Authenticator is an open-source project that aims to provide an alternative to commercial two-factor authentication (2FA) apps like Google Authenticator or Authy. It uses the TOTP protocol to generate one-time passwords, just like these apps do. However, because it is open source, users can review the code and ensure that there are no hidden backdoors or vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. Shield Authenticator is free to use and can be installed on Android mobile devices.
