Consider Aegis if you want an offline and secure alternative.

Aren't all 2FA apps offline compatible?

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Should be, but not all of them allow you to opt-out of cloud sync.

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Proton does this as well, you can use it completely offline without an account

Good to hear. I'll try it once it is on fdroid

Can you export accounts in (encrypted) json?

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago

They do advertise direct export, but I’m not sure if that means encrypted json

(And Aegis has amazing backup features like backup after changes to accounts.)
