lets say i wanted to use something that isn't a smartphone for TOTP purposes - what's out there? something stand alone, probably not internet connected or reliant on a business providing updates to keep it working, and that I can have multiple copies of

@beamflash yeah that seems like the closest thing to what I want - any others out there?

@beamflash they all seem to be in the 50 euro + delivery price range - good to know they exist. I might try using a spare smartphone deGooglefied somehow and get it to sync automatically

@wezm lol i saw that and its what got me thinking - maybe I should just get a palm pilot (have they entered the used technology zone of being too old to be cheap?)

@decryption @wezm I remember my Handspring Visor, I loved that thing, but it was just a toy for me as I was in uni and didn’t really use it for any serious work.

@georgeharito @wezm hehe, I was the same with a HP iPAQ running Windows

@decryption KeePass has a TOTP feature, 100% local and you can copy/sync the db however you want. Have as many dbs as you like to separate out passwords from totp, etc

@froosh hmmm that’s not bad actually, just have a device dedicated to that perhaps

@froosh@aus.social avatar

@decryption though, you’d end up running a keepass app on a phone to access the codes (after catching up on the conversation, i see some kind of hardware would be good)

@decryption some kind of esp32+oled+battery .. but then you’re back into creating a new thing and faffing around with it regularly :blobcatfacepalm2:

@froosh yep, kinda want to avoid homebrew solutions, I'd probably fuck it up and lose all my TOTP keys or whatever

@decryption time to go back to RSA tokens? Even they need to be replaced when their batteries die, though.

@bling i miss those, so simple

@decryption @bling I have an RSA token (my bank uses them for business customers). They replace them for you on 10-year cycles, I think. I'm on my second and opened the business in 2006.

@decryption What sort of form-factor, and how much faff / DIY are you willing to entertain?

I ran Numberstation on my PinePhone for a while, and that was just fine.

You could run Numberstation or even totp-cli on almost any single-board computer ... maybe pair a Pi Zero with something like this:

Pair it with something like this for control:

@duncan_bayne yeah something like this but less dicking around/DIY

@decryption Yubikey then?

@duncan_bayne I gotta see how practical it is - I think you still have to use their app to see the TOTP numbers?
