DEMO\n\u003e **A minimal 2FA Authenticator that generate OTPs to easily access your accounts**\n\n![demo](https://github.com/JoSimon05/QuickAuth/blob/Latest/.github/demo.gif)\n\u003e *Demo relative to v1.0.0*\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## WHAT IS 2FA?\n\u003cins\u003e**Two-Factor Authentication**\u003c/ins\u003e (2FA) is a strong \u003cins\u003e**security method**\u003c/ins\u003e that requires two distinct forms of identification to access a websites (for example) and you can enable it in \"Privacy and Security\" section of your accounts. \u003cbr\u003e\nUsually, websites you want to access send you a \u003cins\u003e**6-digit code**\u003c/ins\u003e via email or phone messages, but they often give you the opportunity to increase your account security level by enabling 2FA, using a \u003cins\u003e**third-party app**\u003c/ins\u003e (like **QuickAuth**) which generates a \u003cins\u003e**new code every 30s**\u003c/ins\u003e for each stored account.\n\n\u003e The \"code\" is called One Time Password (OTP) or Token in technical jargon\n\n2FA apps require a \u003cins\u003e**secret-key**\u003c/ins\u003e to generate OTP and every website provides you with one in the form of a \u003cins\u003e**QR code**\u003c/ins\u003e or a \u003cins\u003e**string**\u003c/ins\u003e of letters and numbers.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e **QuickAuth** can only accept secret-keys in string form (QR code scanner feature is under development...)\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nHere's an example of how to get a secret-key on Github:\n\n![example](https://github.com/JoSimon05/QuickAuth/blob/Latest/.github/example.gif)\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## LOCAL STORAGE\nAll account secret-keys are stored inside a local database, sorted alphabetically (by name) and reloaded on application startup. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis allows you to use the app even offline and keep your data safe.\n\n```json\n\"accounts\": [\n    {\n        \"name\": \"Discord\",\n        \"key\": \"YOURDISCORDSECRETKEY\"\n    },\n    {\n        \"name\": \"Epic Games\",\n        \"key\": \"YOUREPICGAMESSECRETKEY\"\n    },\n    {\n        \"name\": \"Github\",\n        \"key\": \"YOURGITHUBSECRETKEY\"\n    }\n]\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## UPDATES\nUpdates are automatically checked and downloaded on startup, then you can choose wheter to install them immediately or at the next startup.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e Even if you install new versions of the application, you won't lose your [stored data](https://github.com/JoSimon05/QuickAuth?tab=readme-ov-file#local-saves)\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## USER-FRIENDLY\n**QuickAuth** has been created to be as user-friendly as possible, It's simple to use and It allows you to access your accounts very quickly.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n# Try QuickAuth!\n**Check [Releases](https://github.com/JoSimon05/QuickAuth/releases) section and download the latest version available.**\n\n\u003e You just need to download this file:\u0026nbsp; **QuickAuth_{version}_setup.exe**\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e Before installation by *installer.exe*, the system antivirus could show a security alert. DON'T WORRY! \\\n\u003e You just need to click on \"**More info**\"\n\u003e \n\u003e ![alert1](https://github.com/JoSimon05/POST-IT/blob/Latest/.github/installation1.png)\n\u003e \n\u003e finally, click on the button \"**Run anyway**\" that appears next.\n\u003e \n\u003e ![alert2](https://github.com/JoSimon05/POST-IT/blob/Latest/.github/installation2.png)\n\u003e\n\u003e \u003e That's because *authentication certificate* for native applications is missing yet (It's not that cheap...)\n\n#### Please report any kind of problem or bug in the [Issues](https://github.com/JoSimon05/QuickAuth/issues) section.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## CREDITS (libraries)\n[**speakeasy**](https://www.npmjs.com/package/speakeasy) \u0026nbsp;-\u0026nbsp; generates and verifies OTPs for 2FA\n\n[**electron**](https://www.electronjs.org/) \u0026nbsp;/\u0026nbsp; [**electron-builder**](https://www.electron.build/index.html) \u0026nbsp;/\u0026nbsp; [**electron-updater**](https://www.electron.build/auto-update.html) \u0026nbsp;-\u0026nbsp; make the application functional and updatable\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjosimon05%2Fquickauth","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjosimon05%2Fquickauth","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjosimon05%2Fquickauth/lists"}
