Show HN: AuthWin – Authenticator App for Windows

3 points

2 years ago

I have been using Authy on desktop to generate TOTP for 2FA. Recently got a message that they are shutting down the desktop client. I tried looking for a stand-alone and simple (as simple as Google Authenticator) app for Windows but did not find any, so I built one myself. It can generate Time-based OTP and can also import the QR code exported from Google Authenticator.

Currently it supports only TOTP because that's what most services seem to use.

The app utilises -

OTP.Net for TOTP generation https://github.com/kspearrin/Otp.NET

ZXing.Net for reading QR codes https://github.com/micjahn/ZXing.Net

QRCoder for creating QR codes https://github.com/codebude/QRCoder

Google protobuf for reading Google QR code protobuf message https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf

Utilising .proto file from https://github.com/scito/extract_otp_secrets
