Obviously not evident: Do NOT upgrade to 5.0 - individiually bad experience with OTP apps

Thanks, seemed promising but sadly it does not work. It just says “install failed” no info given.

Others work fine so I’m sure this is some sort of dependency problem with 5.x and ownKeepass specifically.

Another thing that seems to be broken is Pure Maps. Installs, but just crashes shortly after start. Worked before as well.

There is a map library fix available in the Chum repository that addresses this. It was released just a couple of days ago.

If you use BitWarden, you can use BitSailor which also includes OTP. That one definitely works, developed and tested by me on a SFOS 5.x device.

Ownkeepass 2.0.3, Xperia 10 III, 5.0.0.62 works fine here.

What about changing.the subject of the thread?

Hi, I’m new with the Jolla C2 and it is like coming home - I used my first Jolla sice 2013 for endless time before it was so worn out …
Used HMD Nokia feature phones, have a genuine Librem 5 from Purism and a Volla22 and eventually SailFishOS is back :slight_smile:

The world has changed and I need OTP for my FritzBox (since the f***ing 8 firmware they went paranoid). Same question since aeons of Jolla time: Available? I never ever swith to the dark side like Android emulation.

So there was some nice and valuable experience here and it did not exactly match.

Asking the “Shop” it recommends “Foil Auth”. Author slava gives the clear recommendation “… the app isn’t going to work …won’t be any updates” (119, 2 years ago) Hint from him: You need to download a build from GitHub.

Well … Linux is easy but I never managed with the C2(!) Jolla.

There is a new challenge for me with C2: Do I need i486 or armv7 or aarch64 ??? Nobody will tell you for modern C2 …
So download of i486 pack went smooth, offered installation, works fine and - fails. Same with armv7 pack. Fails.

aarch64 worked for my C2 if I did not mess up the order of downloads I did.

And suddenly TOTP worked … configed and working.
Until I switched back to my regular user in Jolla C2. Data unavailable. Fails to work. New setup necessary.

Why does no one point out, what packages the SailfishOS on a modern C2 can install?

Surprisingly aarch64 seems to do the job, right?

And “Foil Auth” works. Sail home now …

Can you explain what you mean by that? Which user switch happened, and what was the effects?

What is surprising about that?

Openrepos was the actual first recommendation, but sure.

Private/sensitive data not being shared between users sounds a lot like a feature.

Because this is a Linux distribution and downloading packages manually hasn’t been necessary or best practice since 1998.

Use the available tools, JollaStore, Chum GUI, and Storeman for software installation.

FoilAuth worked where Google Authenticator failed for me!

Yes, it does.

You are perfectly right, this is a security feature by personalisation.
I did not learn to use distinct users (Admin, person, some stuff) using Win3.1 nor in XP where ist was an excuse. I do Linux.
In the particular case I doubt this by-user config is really helpful but nevertheless the idea is right.

And SailfishOS does exactly the same like several of my Linux installtions at home, mostly Ubuntu: Changing the user w/o rebooting causes a lot of issues from that moment on. Remember WebDAV :wink: Changing the user w/o rebooting is always wrong.

MeeGo: This is proof enough SailfishOS is improved by having more Linux inside :slight_smile:
