# Authenticator
Generate Two-Factor Codes
## Screenshots  ## Features - Time-based/Counter-based/Steam methods support - SHA-1/SHA-256/SHA-512 algorithms support - QR code scanner using a camera or from a screenshot - Lock the application with a password - Beautiful UI - Backup/Restore from/into known applications like FreeOTP+, andOTP ## Getting in touch If you have any questions regarding the use or development of Authenticator, please join us on our [#authenticator:gnome.org](https://matrix.to/#/#authenticator:gnome.org) channel. ## Known issue - If the application crashes once you try to use the camera scanning feature while running the application under Wayland with an Intel GPU: The issue is caused by the driver and can be worked around by forcing the application to run under X11. You can override the permissions if you're using Flatpak with ``` flatpak override com.belmoussaoui.Authenticator --nosocket=fallback-x11 --nosocket=wayland --socket=x11 ``` See the [mesa issue](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3029) for more details. ## Hack on Authenticator To build the development version of Authenticator and hack on the code see the [general guide](https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers/BuildProject) for building GNOME apps with Flatpak and GNOME Builder. ## Credits - We ship a database of providers based on [twofactorauth](https://github.com/2factorauth/twofactorauth), by the 2factorauth team
