Related to this suggestion.
Currently download, decrypt and file view are sequential operations, i.e each operation runs for the full file before the next can begin. While this is relatively fine for images, viewing videos is currently not optimal, especially for large files.

An alternative would be to stream buffers in all the 3 operations in parallel threads. Ente encrypts in blocks of size 4MB, so each operation can chain the response in blocks of decryptionChunkSize bytes to the next one without waiting for the complete file.

Implementing cache could be relatively trickier, especially with remote seek being possible now. Maybe this could be shipped as a beta feature which disables video controls until cache is implemented for buffers. IMO even without cache, progressive video playing is a huge win.

Note: The same buffer loading could be reused for images too.

From ente-io/photos-desktop#117 (comment)

When clicking on the X to cancel the upload, after confirming, I get another pop-up that says Cancelling remaining uploads and that never ends. If I restart the app it automatically tries to resume uploading the stuck files, clicking X again causes the same broken behavior.

I have a Xiaomi Poco F1 (MIUI 12.0.3 - Android 10) and sync is only working with the app opened. If I switch to other app, after some time I reopen Ente app and the sync was interrupted.

I've already disabled MIUI's battery saving option but it is still not working....

I would like to migrate to your app from andOTP as it's not maintained anymore

This is a request to add import support for andOTP JSON or .AES files

Thanks

As has been recently reported, if a bad actor was able to watch a passcode being entered on iOS or Android before they stole the device they can currently change the biometrics and gain access to ente Authenticator even if it’s secured with biometrics.

It would be great there was an option to automatically log out ente Authenticator anytime the biometrics changed to mitigate the risk of this kind of attack. Bitwarden already does this.

Thanks devs for such a great app!

Add support for

• Linux
• MacOS
• Windows

Work in progress here: desktop.

I have updated to latest release 1.0.28 after that some of entries are no longer showing and there's a white empty places in the app.

When I search one of hidden entries, they appear in search results but there's some white empty spaces along with it.

Is there a way to create new albums? The only way I've seen is when uploading, but that didn't work for me even though I selected to create a new album.

A user can organize photos using any gallery app.
It would be nice to have an album-level or global setting to sync those changes back to ente.

Hi, I wanted to ask if you can add on iOS 16 the possibility to use ente auth as an app to do 2FA autofill.
(I know Raivo and others have this possibility)

That's what I mean:
https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/v6pj8q/ios_16_lets_you_use_3rdparty_mfa_apps_with/
https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/06/ios-16-third-party-two-factor-authentication-support/

it would be great to website icon and also if we can add this manually

Thanks for the great work

There should be a download button in place of the orange circle

I got like 20 2-Factors+ and the webpage is so similar with the App, that its kinda annoying to scroll all the way down.
Also every time i add a new 2 Factor, it just makes the Webpage longer. You could make multiple Tiles next to eachother, so you can have everything on 1 Page without scrolling infinitively when you want to get an auth code.

So if you would move the first auths to the left, make another row with the next one and the search bar in the top right corner, it would be pretty good i think

Google Photos support WearOS, so I think it would be great if ente does the same thing.

Most auth apps have logos, and it would be good to see same thing on ente.

Considering the effort needed to maintain and enhance ente Auth, I propose establishing funding mechanisms to support its development.

Options include:

Platforms like Open Collective, GitHub Sponsors, or something like that for donations and sponsorships.

Implementing these can foster long-term sustainability and success of ente Auth.

Dear ente Auth Development Team,

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to suggest an enhancement to the ente Auth application that would be beneficial to the user community.

In the current version of the application, the Social Networks list, located within the 'Community' section, does not include Mastodon and Matrix (Element) as available options. However, these platforms are mentioned in the README documentation on the GitHub repository.

Mastodon and Matrix (Element) are platforms gaining significant traction within the open-source community. Their inclusion in the application's Social Networks list would expand the range of connectivity options for users and further underscore your commitment to open-source and decentralized networks.

Please consider this proposed enhancement. Such an addition would augment the overall user experience and further contribute to the growth and development of the ente Auth community.

Thank you for your time and for the remarkable work you have accomplished with the ente Auth application thus far.

Hello I have been using ente for some time with a Samsung phone and I use folders to separate work and personal photos and I want ente to sync a folder containing personal photos but it doesn't because of the .nomedia folder which I have placed to avoid them from showing up on the Samsung gallery app

Is it possible for ente to upload images from a folder that contains the .nomedia file as well

If the tab remains open for over a specific duration (say 5 minutes), the app could bring up the lockscreen.

The app currently does not act as Android's gallery app. Tapping on pictures in the File Manager (documentsUI) will not work if no other gallery app is installed.

I would be nice if you can have it acting as a gallery app as well.

I use 2FA on over 50 different services, so I would love it if I could search for specific services through the app based on issuer and/or account.

Since Ente itself is on F-Droid, this app should be to :)

Google Photos on iOS have this feature

Thanks for all your hard work in developing ente auth! Really appreciate the same! I wanted to report the below issue, as I had just stumbled upon it the other day.

If you close the ente auth webapp tab (without logging out, or deleting the session), and once you re-open it after some time (not sure about exact threshold that's configured in backend - can ente team folks confirm about this please?), it prompts you to enter password before actually seeing the 2FA entries. As might be intuitive - this is a really nice security feature, so that no one can randomly access your ente auth webapp 2fa entries once you are logged in on your machine.

Now the weird thing is that if you never close the ente auth webapp tab, it won't auto-timeout to show the password popup in the same tab, and keeps on showing the 2fa entries always. Atleast this was the case in my usage of the webapp while it was open for long (i had accidentally forgotten to close the tab) and when i came post few hours i think it was still showing me the 2fa entries. Ideally this should not be the case as it opens up unnecessary room for unauthorised access if at all you accidentally leave your tab open. It should ideally auto time out and force-popup the lock screen even if the tab is kept forever and not closed. As you can imagine this might be especially important in the context of a 2fa app, as it has secrets data. Can this be please added?

To be clear: I don't know if in case this feature is already there in place, and if I couldn't see the lockscreen in the same tab due to the threshold of that lockscreen popping up is higher than what I saw after. If this feature is already in place, can the ente team please mention what that timeout is configured to be and if it can be potentially reduced? Like I mentioned, I have by no means done any stress testing for this - i just bumped into this issue as I had accidentally left my tab open.

Requesting feature to automatically sort by "issuer", then by "account" if the "issuer" is identical.

Currently, the app sorts only by "issuer"

Example Accounts:

• Example Issuer
  • [email protected]
• Example Issuer
  • [email protected]
• Another Example Issuer
  • [email protected]

Should appear as:

1. Another Example Issuer
   • [email protected]
2. Example Issuer
   • [email protected]
3. Example Issuer
   • [email protected]

When exiting the iOS app with Face ID enabled, the expected behaviour is that the app should have a privacy screen enabled such that, upon reentry into the app (without completely closing it), the photo gallery is blocked by the privacy screen until Face ID authentication is completed.

What I've observed is that while Face ID does indeed activate upon switching apps, there's no privacy screen activated at the same time, such as with Standard Notes, thereby showing any person who happens to have my phone, unauthenticated, whatever I was last viewing in my gallery, which therefore mitigates the purpose of the Face ID authentication in the first place.

I have the latest App Store release installed on an iPhone 13 Pro.

Thanks!

AppImages are nice, but flatpaks are much better on Linux in my opinion. They are supported by repositories and sandboxed.

Here is a comparision

In the past weeks i've changed all my 2factors to ente auth. I had a few times the problem that ente couldn't recognize the QR Code, so they might be too complicated for ente.
But then i had to get the Code for 2Factor from my PC to my phone, without typing it off and just copying it.
So i had the idea if you could add an + Button like in the App for the Website, where you can enter the details manually.
Would be really nice!

Hi,

I'd like to suggest adding groups to easily display only personal or work items for example. You can have a look at how Aegis does it for inspiration.

And thanks for this great tool!

Cheers

After I set Lockscreen, and I swipe up the auth app (iPhone), the contents of the app can be seen like many other apps except password manager (set lockscreen). Like password manager, can the contents be hidden when Lockscreen is set?

Hello,
Thanks for making such a wonderful program.

I would like to request you to add Finnish, Russian and Turkish languages to your Crowdin project. There are some of us who want to help translating.

Many sites give a phrase with spaces as the secret key for 2FA. Currently Ente Auth does not accept them and you have to delete them manually.

I think it would be much better if it accepted them.

It would be great to add support for FIDO/passkeys so accounts can be secured with physical security keys like Yubikey.

I love the idea of an open source cross platform 2FA service but am hesitant to use it if it’s (somewhat ironically) only able to be secured by a password.

Add camera functionality to allow ente users to take pictures through the app, bypassing the device photo gallery.

The captured photos should only be accessible through the ente mobile app, any copies of the images stored locally on the device must be encrypted

The flutter camera plugin can be used to implement the in-app camera. Detailed examples of the plugin can be found here, in this blog post, and the associated github repo

Hi,

I have the exact same issue on Ente Auth as the one I reported here for Ente Photos.

Let me know how I could assist you in investigating the issue.

I think should add english to setup as default

I noticed that if I log in with the ente auth account on another device, the 2FA codes I have in the account are different for each device.
Let me explain: On my mobile phone, the app generates some 2FA codes while on the Chromebook it generates others 2FA codes with different numbers. Sites accept the 2FA codes I have on my mobile phone and the ones on the Chromebook are rejected as incorrect.

I don't know what I am doing wrong!

Summary: If you edit an entry that produces 8-digit codes, it will produce 6-digit codes after the edit. The same applies for 7-digit codes.

Steps-to-reproduce:
(1): Import otpauth://totp/Tesk:test%40test.com?issuer=Tesk&secret=PAU6LFQ7F7U2FCTOTVLHU37WAJSGYOKL&digits=8&period=30 It should produce 8-digit codes.
(2) Realize there is a typo, and it should be Test instead of Tesk. Proceed to edit the entry name to Test
(3) Upon editing, ente produces only 6-digit codes.

Blizzard, for reference, produces 8-digit codes. Gemini produces 7-digit codes.

Going to Settings > Data > Import codes > Select file doesn't pop up a file selector at all, so I can't import my codes.

• Latest release APK

A lot of people need this

They are as unaware of this feature as I am. If it were possible in the app, more people would pay that way.

mysterium vpn did it

Ideally with an independent CLI tool that can decrypt this.

It's not smooth at the moment, would've been nice to have a smoother animation.

If I go like in the settings to change email or something else, the popup that appears is not in English like the whole app but appears in German. (iOS 16.3)

Hello

Reported by candroid-man here

For desktop, when you click it zooms in like 10x and there is no way of controlling it, so maybe a slider would be a good idea

After I scanned QR code from some of services, spaces between words are replaced and saved as %20
