As I updated the version to 1.4.0 , adding the ‘import’ feature I am sharing this here.
I made this extension because I couldn’t find one that wouldn’t ask for too much permissions (such as accessing all websites data).
Eventually I found it nice to have a TOTP that can really be audited, the code is 649 lines of JS, 214 CSS and 52 HTML. Feel free to fork, copy part of it, contribute or just request fix/features.
I have used it for more than a year every day and it works nicely.
2FA being on a separate device is simply the most secure way of doing it. An attacker who gets access to some passwords for my accounts can’t do a whole lot without also physically stealing my phone.
It’s simply an extra hurdle for malicious actors to go through.
Though I guess in most cases, having any 2FA at all will probably already turn off a majority of attackers.
??? Theres a while bunch of loopholes they can exploit without having access to your phone, here’s must one.

I do it the way you do it as well but am under no illusion it’s bomb proof.
I could’ve worded it better, that’s for sure.
An attacker needs some form of access to your separate device. That describes it more accurately.
