Authenticator-Extension/Authenticator
Authenticator
Authenticator ist ein Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierungsmanager und eine Browser-Erweiterung zur Generierung und Speicherung von Zwei-Schritt-Verifizierungscodes direkt im Webbrowser. Er fungiert als verschlüsselter Secret-Store, der sowohl zeitbasierte als auch zählerbasierte Sicherheitscodes erzeugt, um den Zugriff auf Online-Konten zu schützen.
Das Projekt zeichnet sich durch Cross-Browser-Synchronisation aus, die Authentifizierungskonten über verschiedene Browser-Instanzen hinweg mittels Cloud- oder lokaler Backups repliziert. Es nutzt passwortbasierte Verschlüsselung zum Schutz von Authentifizierungs-Seeds und bietet ein Synchronisationstool, um den konsistenten Zugriff auf sichere Logins über mehrere Geräte hinweg zu wahren.
Das Tool deckt ein breites Spektrum an Identitätsmanagement-Funktionen ab, einschließlich des Imports von Konten via Secret-Keys oder QR-Code-Scannen sowie des Exports verschlüsselter Kontodatensätze. Es enthält umfassende Backup- und Wiederherstellungssysteme, die interoperable Formatierung für die Migration von Anmeldedaten zwischen verschiedenen Authentifizierungsanwendungen unterstützen.
Administrative Kontrollen sind über das Browser-Erweiterungs-Richtlinienmanagement verfügbar, um Einstellungen über verwaltete Geräte hinweg zu regulieren.
Features
