FreeOTP+ vs Port Authority
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FreeOTP+
NOTE: Users reported issues with the backup & restore functionality, please test this whenever you install the app on a new device. FreeOTP Plus forked the same functionality of FreeOTP provided by RedHat with the following enhancement: * Export settings to Google Drive or other document providers * Import settings from Google Drive or other document providers * Lots of stability improvement * Support Android 6.0 permissions * Enhanced UI with material design with dark theme support * Search bar to search token * Provide more token details for better interoperatibility with other apps * Utilize modern camera hardware to scan QR code faster * Option to require Biometric / PIN authentication to launch the app * Heuristic based offline icon for tokens of 250+ websites * More settings to customize the app functionality FreeOTP is a two-factor authentication (2FA) application for systems utilizing one-time password protocols (OTP). Tokens can be added easily by scanning a QR-code or by manually entering in the token configuration. FreeOTP implements open standards. This means that no proprietary server-side component is necessary: use any server-side component that implements these standards — for example FreeIPA, which uses TOTP. Any standards-compliant implementation will work. Currently, FreeOTP provides implementations of HOTP (RFC 4226) and TOTP (RFC 6238).
Port Authority
A handy systems and security-focused tool, Port Authority is a very fast port scanner. Port Authority also allows you to quickly discover hosts on your network and will display useful network information about your device and other hosts.One of the fastest port scanners with host discovery on the market! Host discovery is typically performed in 3 seconds. If the device you’re scanning drops packets, it takes less than 10 seconds to scan 1000 ports. If the device you’re scanning rejects packets, it takes about ~30 seconds seconds to scan all 65,535 ports!Port Authority has no ads and will never have ads. It requires extremely limited permissions since it only needs to interact with your network. The internals are designed to take advantage of today’s modern phones with multiple cores to ensure you can scan your network as fast as possible.
