OTPHub
Simple OTP app for desktop and mobile.
Open source alternative to:
OTPHub is a simple, open-source OTP application designed for both desktop and mobile platforms. It generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) to add an extra layer of security to your online accounts, all while keeping your data under your control.
Licensed under GPL-3.0, OTPHub emphasizes privacy and transparency. The application works across devices without requiring cloud synchronization, ensuring your 2FA secrets remain private and secure.
OTPHub serves as a straightforward alternative to proprietary authenticator apps like Google Authenticator and Authy, offering the same core functionality without ads, tracking, or vendor lock-in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is OTPHub more private than Google Authenticator or Authy?
OTPHub generates standard time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) locally on your device, and because it is open source under GPL-3.0 the code can be audited to verify secrets are not being sent anywhere. Unlike Authy there is no cloud account or phone-number dependency, so your 2FA secrets are never stored on a vendor's servers. As with any authenticator, overall security still depends on protecting your own device.
Can I use OTPHub on my phone and desktop, and how do they stay in sync?
OTPHub is designed for both desktop and mobile platforms, but it deliberately does not use cloud synchronization — each installation holds its own copy of your secrets. That means no vendor ever sees your data, but you must add each account to every device manually using the setup QR code or secret. This offline model is the core privacy trade-off compared with sync-based apps like Authy.
What exactly does OTPHub do for me?
OTPHub acts as a straightforward alternative to proprietary authenticator apps, providing time-based one-time password codes for two-factor authentication on the accounts that support them. It implements the standard TOTP protocol, so it works with any service that issues time-based codes. You get the same core functionality as Google Authenticator without ads, tracking, or vendor lock-in.
