It's been a few months since our last major update for Auth, and we're very happy about all the love that it has received so far.
From LinusTechTips picking Auth as the best 2FA app to CERN's recommendation, we're grateful to be at the receiving end of praise.
We are now here to showcase v4.0, that comes with some major improvements.
Changelog
Here are the highlights of what has been added since v3.0.
Sharing
You can now easily share specific codes with your team, with temporary links that are end-to-end encrypted.
These links will be valid only for the duration that you've chosen. Ente will pre-compute the codes for this duration, and share those within the link, end-to-end encrypted.
Your 2FA secret / seed phrase is not shared, and remains secure on your device.
Notes
Auth now supports notes within codes.
You can attach any text (upto a maximum of 500 characters), to provide more information about your accounts.
Like with everything else, your notes are preserved end-to-end encrypted.
Trash and recover
You can now trash codes that you don't need.
These items will be moved to a separate section within the app, under the "Trash" header.
You can recover codes from here, in case of accidental deletions, or delete them permanently.
App lock
You can now further protect your codes with a custom lock screen that supports PINs and passwords. So you can protect your co with either of these, instead of your device lock screen.
CLI
Starting this release, Ente's CLI will support accessing your data on Auth.
This means you can go ahead and script a workflow that works for you. You can find more information on using our CLI to export your data from auth here.
Flatpak
Last but not the least, Auth is now officially available on Flathub!
