Hi community. With the latest update on iOS, Ente Auth adds the “Option to use the app completely offline, without an account (and backups)”
After Raivo’s removal, I have been looking for a new 2fa app. Cross-platform and E2EE.

Hello @vishnukvmd 
When I want to use your app without backups (accountless). The app tells me that “Sorry, biometric authentication isn’t avaliable on your device”. Well yes, I don’t have biometrics on my phone nor I want to use them. It seems like it is the only way to use the app locally.
Is there any plans to let people choose a password for the app locally?
Thanks.
Hey, we currently store your secrets after encrypting them with a randomly generated key, which is then stored in the device’s secure-storage – accessing which requires biometrics.
What we could do is derive this key from a passphrase each time on app-start and drop the dependency on secure-storage.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ve added this to our roadmap: Option to use the app withou secure-storage / biometrics · Issue #262 · ente-io/auth · GitHub
