Hi,
For now, the only way to add a 2FA to Ente Auth seems to be e-mail verification. Even if better than nothing, I still think it’s not the best since, if my main e-mail account is hacked or lost, I also lost access to my Ente Auth account (if I understood correctly, the recovery key doesn’t bypass the e-mail verification).
To create a 2FA TOTP for Ente Auth account, I have to go to Ente photo. I believe a setting inside the Ente Auth app to create a TOTP would be nice.
Also, there is no recovery code when you create a TOTP for the Ente account (inside Ente Photo). I noted the seed, but it’s not really the same since I would have to add this seed into another authentification app.
Also, when e-mail verification and TOTP are activated, you need both to connect to your Ente account. Having the need for just one of them would be better IMO. If I want to connect, I enter my e-mail adress. Then Ente asks me if I want to use e-mail verification OR the TOTP code, and then it asks for my password.
