# Ente Auth

> Ente Auth is a two-factor code app, not a password manager: it stores TOTP secrets, with optional end-to-end encrypted backup and sync across devices. It works offline and can be used without an account. Apps for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux; the web view is read-only. AGPL-3.0, in the ente/ente monorepo (stars are shared with Ente Photos), which also contains the self-hostable server. Ente says its code and cryptography were audited by Cure53, Symbolic Software and Fallible. Free; no passwords, autofill or sharing.
