It’s a 2FA app on F-droid that’s made in Flutter

Is it safe to use?

    I agree with Jojonintendo, it’s probably safe. That said, I don’t see an export/import option, which is in my opinion, a must. If your phone breaks and you don’t have a backup, your 2FA codes go bye-bye.

    If that’s okay with you, go for it. But maybe look into OTP apps that do have an import/export option like andOTP.

    I’ve never heard of it, but if it’s on F-Droid, then the source code is probably available. Otherwise there are usually comments about some parts being proprietary or requiring permissions, etc.

    As others have said if it is on f-droid it is probably safe, but there are better options on f-droid, such as andOTP(TOTP), Authenticator Pro(TOTP and HOTP) as well as KeepassDX(TOTP and HOTP) which is primarily a password manager but also does 2FA.

    I have just checked out Secur and it does indeed look nice because of flutter ;) it offers the average encryption settings but lacks the depth of settings and configureability that andOTP and Authenticator pro have such as not being able to change the 2FA once you have made it, or back it up or change the icons.

    It still clearly needs fully developing so that is probably why. If you just need a basic 2FA app then it is okay but if you need a more robust app then the others would be better, Authenticator Pro looks really nice too, plus I would recommend keepassDX anyway. Hope that helps
