Our verdict on Ente Auth

Ente Auth is a free, open-source authenticator for storing and generating TOTP and HOTP two-factor authentication codes. It is designed for individuals who want access across devices without giving up offline use or encrypted backups. The app is available on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Users can enroll accounts by scanning QR codes or entering secrets manually, and can use the app offline without an account.

The published Free plan includes end-to-end encrypted backups, cross-device synchronization, and mobile, desktop, and web apps. According to the vendor's product details, Ente Auth also supports bulk imports from other authenticator apps, including 2FAS Authenticator, Aegis Authenticator, and Google Authenticator, along with encrypted and plain-text exports. These options make it practical for people moving from another authenticator or maintaining codes across several devices. The app also provides search, tags, pinning, notes, custom sorting, and time-limited secure code sharing.

Ente Auth has a broad feature set for personal two-factor authentication, with app locks based on a device lock, PIN, or password. Its open-source design and end-to-end encrypted cloud backups will appeal to users who want more control over how authentication data is stored and synchronized. The main boundary is scope: the published capabilities center on generating TOTP and HOTP codes, rather than push approvals or team administration. Choose Ente Auth for a full-featured free authenticator with cross-platform access, imports, exports, and encrypted synchronization. Organizations seeking documented team controls should choose a product built around administration and shared management.
