I can access my employer’s local network if I authenticate with a 2fa. They suggest proprietary software, but aegis authenticator (found in fdroid) works fine.

The thing is, the phone’s screen is too small and it’s very cumbersome to navigate the screen and to click, it’s so bad I don’t want to use it, because fonts are so small you cannot read anything. It’s like they didn’t even try to optimize the local network for devices.

However, if I could emulate this app on an ubuntu based computer, I’d use it. Can it be done?

    Just in case - there are also good linux desktop applications - check out Authenticator on flathub for example.

    Try wayDroid, it’s an android container for running android apps on Linux. There’s a way to enable arm emulation too

    It’s called Time-based one-time password (TOTP), there are many apps for that, you don’t have to use Aegis authenticator, although most apps like this are mobile need there are also some desktop programs for Windows and Linux available

    Use Authenticator by Gnome. It is best. You can also import from aegis
