AUTHENTICATOR-RS

Authenticator-rs is a TOTP-MFA application written in Rust and GTK3.

It is initially inspired by authenticator, which sadly sort of broke for me in the latest versions of python shipped with Arch Linux.

It is by no means as feature-rich as its python relative, more like a diamond in the rough. Well, maybe not a diamond, but definitely in the rough...

Features

Multiple TOTP Algorithms

Supports multiple TOTP hash algorithms for generating one-time passwords:

• SHA1 - The most widely supported algorithm (default)
• SHA256 - More secure, supported by many services
• SHA512 - Most secure, supported by some services
• STEAM - Steam Guard compatible algorithm (generates 5-digit codes)

Each account can use a different algorithm. The STEAM algorithm automatically uses 5-digit codes as required by Steam Guard.

Importing and exporting - including google authenticator exports

• Using yaml format:

  ---

    - name: group name
      url: bbc.co.uk
      entries:
        - label: Account 1
          secret: secret code
  

  

• Using google authenticator format:

  Google Authenticator exports in the shape of a qrcode image can be imported directly. authenticator-rs will import these files by choosing the Import GAuth option from the top menu.

Dark themes friendly

Group and account editing

When adding or editing an account, you can select the TOTP algorithm from the dropdown menu. The STEAM algorithm is automatically configured for Steam Guard compatibility.
