ubuntu 23.10
I can access my employer’s local network if I authenticate with a 2fa. They suggest proprietary software, but aegis authenticator (found in fdroid) works fine.
The thing is, the phone’s screen is too small and it’s very cumbersome to navigate the screen and to click. It’s so bad I don’t want to use it, because fonts are so small you cannot read anything. It’s like they didn’t even try to optimize the local network for devices.
However, if I could emulate this app on an ubuntu based computer, I’d use it. Can it be done?
Otpclient can open Aegis exports directly.
Copy the totp seed from aegis and use something like keepassxc to generate the codes
you can just use any other OTP application on Linux like https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator or https://apps.kde.org/keysmith/, they all follow the same protocol
you can export your keys in Aegis and import them in most applicationsOf course there is a KDE app that is feature packed and beautiful and no live being has heard or known about.
my method for running Android apps on my distro is to run an Android 9.0-r2 VM on QEMU/KVM via virt-manager
maybe this might work for you?
here’s a guide I found for setting up Virt-manager on Ubuntu
and here’s a vid for setting up Android x86 on Virt-manager
- not sure if this is the exact same vid I used but it should suffice
hope this works/fits your use case!
Just use Waydroid instead: https://waydro.id, much lower overhead, however you need to mess with ARM emulation. For installing Google Apps and Device not Play certified: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

That’s pretty neat! I didn’t know about Waydroid till now
however you need to mess with ARM emulation.
not sure about Arch as I’m on NixOS now and the implementation seems to be straightforward but I’ll keep an eye on your note if I do encounter issues
thanks!🤗
