glawrie Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) For ages there has been an excellent workflow (Gauth) that provides a simple TFA/OTP generating interface - which is amazingly useful once you get it working. However it is one of the PY2 workflows that is difficult to get working with newer versions of macOS - the latest macOS / XCode updates have broken the hacked py3 version that somene created from the original again ... Given how pervasive TFA/OTP schemes are right now (and increasingly so) it maybe is now time to build this kind of function into the Alfred Core. I can see several benefits that would acrue from so doing: It would be faster - the PY version (particularly on first load after a boot) is quite slow (when it works) It would continue to work when macOS updates - difficult to over state how useful this is ... It could possibly store its secrets in the macOS keychain - Gauth saves them into a plain-text file which is possibly not the most secure approach It could be built into other workflows It is really not complicated to do (utility libraries to support generating the requisite codes exist for most languages it seems) Fingers crossed that this idea gains some support - I think implementing this would be a big step up.
