Open-source two-factor authentication software for Python users
Open Two Factor Authenticator is intended to be used as a means to protect smartphone users against the threat of third-party intrusions. It essentially supplies the client with a one-time 'token'. This is meant to provide entry to online services that request a two-factor authentication code. Many businesses utilize such services, as the chances of data theft are vastly reduced.
Main Functions and Tools
Open Two Factor Authenticator provides a 'master password' that will enable a user to access secured sites or portals that require what is known as a two-factor authentication key. This key literally combines two different components which the client already possesses. Such a method is much safer than utilizing a traditional one-off password, as the chances of third-party decryption are dramatically reduced. The level of security that this method offers is far superior than common techniques, as it employs what is known as an AES-CBC algorithm.
Additional Information
Open Two Factor Authenticator will help the user to synchronize his or her access across two or more devices. One of the benefits associated with this software platform is that the client will not be penalized or otherwise 'locked out' if he or she forgets the assigned password.
