Auths av stealthchampions

Auths is a robust and privacy-focused two-factor authentication (2FA) manager designed to enhance your online security by generating and managing verification codes directly within your browser. It supports both Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) and Counter-based One-Time Passwords (HOTP), allowing you to safeguard your accounts with ease and confidence. Unlike cloud-based authenticators, Auths keeps all sensitive data strictly local to your device, ensuring that your secrets and authentication codes never leave your browser unless you explicitly enable an optional encrypted backup to your own server. This local-first approach guarantees maximum privacy and control without sacrificing usability or security.

With a modern, streamlined interface available in multiple themes—including Light, Dark, Violet, Emerald, Ocean, and Sunset—and accessibility features such as high contrast mode and adjustable zoom, Auths delivers a user-friendly experience tailored to your preferences. It includes convenient features like drag-and-drop account reordering, pinned favorites, in-app search, and multi-language support with English and Simplified Chinese, which can follow your system language or be set manually.

Auths makes adding new accounts effortless and secure through several methods: you can scan QR codes directly from webpages or upload QR code images, paste otpauth URLs, or import from backup files and other authenticator apps. Its QR code scanner even supports Google Authenticator migration codes and provides a region selection tool for more precise scanning. Strong validation and duplicate detection prevent errors and redundancies in managing your accounts, while a smart filter automates displaying only the relevant 2FA keys based on your current website, saving you time during login.

The extension features a real-time countdown timer for each authentication code, supporting configurable code lengths (6-8 digits), customizable periods (30s/60s), and multiple hashing algorithms including SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512. One-click copying of codes to the clipboard is enhanced with secure clipboard write integration to mitigate accidental data leaks. Moreover, an optional auto-fill function, user-initiated to respect your control, allows seamless insertion of codes into verification fields on most supported websites.

Auths values accuracy and synchronization by including time drift detection and automatic time correction through syncing with Google time servers, displaying offsets to help verify perfect alignment. For users seeking additional data security, the extension supports encrypted WebDAV backups to self-hosted servers such as Nextcloud, Synology, or ownCloud, with automatic scheduling and manual controls to suit your workflow. Permissions are requested transparently and minimally, only when necessary to enable each feature, underpinning Auths’ commitment to privacy and user empowerment.

This extension is ideal for security-conscious individuals, privacy advocates, professionals managing multiple accounts, and anyone transitioning from other authenticators like Google Authenticator. It requires no account registration, maintains zero telemetry, and has its full source code open for public audit, fostering trust through transparency.

Key Features:
- Secure Local-Only Storage: Saves all 2FA secrets locally inside your browser with no external data transmission unless user-enabled backup is configured.
- Real-Time TOTP & HOTP Generation: Supports multiple algorithms, customizable code digit lengths and periods, with an intuitive countdown timer.
- QR Code Scanning & Migration Support: Scan codes from websites or images, supporting Google Authenticator migration and bulk imports via otpauth URLs.
- Smart Filter and Context Awareness: Automatically detects the current website to show relevant 2FA entries and supports domain and subdomain matching.
- One-Click Copy and Optional Auto-Fill: Quick code copying and user-triggered auto-filling streamline login processes on supported sites.
- Flexible Account Management: Drag-and-drop ordering, pin favorites, edit account details, and search through your entries easily.
- Optional Encrypted WebDAV Backup: Safely back up and restore your encrypted vault to servers you control, with auto-scheduling and per-server permission requests.
- Time Calibration and Drift Correction: Ensures accurate code generation by syncing time with Google servers and displaying time offsets.
- Multi-Language Support and Accessibility: Interface available in English and Simplified Chinese, high contrast mode, and adjustable zoom for all users.

How It Works:
1. Install Auths from the browser store and pin it for quick access.
2. Open the popup interface by clicking the extension icon in your browser toolbar.
3. Add new 2FA accounts by scanning QR codes on web pages or images, pasting otpauth URLs, or importing backup files.
4. Auths validates inputs, detects duplicates, and securely stores entries locally, capturing account names, issuers, secrets, and configuration parameters.
5. View your accounts in an organized list, with options to reorder, pin, edit, or search your entries for easy management.
6. When logging into websites, use the smart filter to quickly find relevant 2FA codes, copy them to your clipboard in one click, or optionally autofill verification fields.
7. Optionally, set up encrypted backups to your WebDAV server for safe off-device storage, with automatic synchronization as scheduled.
8. Benefit from time synchronization features that maintain code accuracy and immediate notifications confirming actions such as successful additions or errors.

Privacy: - No personal data collected. This extension stores all authentication information locally within your browser and does not transmit any account details, secrets, or codes to external servers unless you explicitly configure an encrypted backup. Only browser local storage is used for data retention. See our privacy policy for more details.
