solrize , 4 days ago to Privacy in Privacy@lemmy.ml: An open source two factor auth app that syncs keys between devices?

A physical token only authenticates itself as "something you have" if there's no way to extract the key from it. In practice non-hardcore deployments usually have a backup procedure but in principle, if you want multiple tokens, they should have separate keys. What you're asking in simplest form involves storing the key on a server where it can potentially spill in a server breach or the like. If the key protects something very valuable, that can be dangerous. If it's for your old Reddit account, you might decide to do it anyway.

It's considered bad form to do what you're asking but most 2fa apps have a backup restore scheme now. Is that enough?

It's hard to understand the purpose of this. The difficulty of the project (i.e. complexity of the web) is the real problem that needs solving. We don't need another fork of the browser-verse. We need a fork of the web itself.

It's a trade off between video quality and bandwidth but you can set the ffmpeg parameters to the bandwidth you want, more or less. If you have 2mbits up you can do ok. Motion detection can help if it's for security and not much is happening most of the time.

If you have enough upload bandwidth I guess you don't need the vps.

It always seems simplest to do this stuff with raspberry pi cameras or cheap webcams, and wired networks if feasible. Then use ffmpeg and icecast to stream through a VPS. Anything made as a consumer product is likely a shambles of crap software and security holes.

Raspberry pi cameras aren't that bad a deal.

If it's from a memorable phrase, then the phrase has a lot of redundancy and it's hard to estimate the actual entropy. Generating a random phrase and writing it on a slip of paper works for me. Keep the paper in your pocket and refer to it when you need to, instead of trying to memorize it. Once you've typed it into the computer a few times, you remember it automatically. At that point you can swallow the paper or use your favorite alternate secure disposal method ;).

Do you want something that also has CDN like Cloudflare? Bunny.net is good, but way more expensive than a cheap VPS if you use a lot of traffic.
