Secure OTP (One-Time Password) generator for Sailfish OS.

Foil Auth keeps secret authentication keys encrypted with your Foil password. Supports time-based (TOTP), counter-based (HOTP) and Steam passwords. Tokens can be shared and imported via QR codes.

Foil password (and the RSA encryption key ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key) is shared with Foil Pics and Foil Notes. Encrypted authentication keys for OTP generation are stored in ~/Documents/FoilAuth.

The format of the encrypted file is described here.

Note that you can add your encrypted files and the Foil key to the backup with the help of My Backup app.

    Hi, I love this App and use it on daily bases -> thanks so much
    One thing though, and sorry if you've already answered/explained this earlier, but I was wondering if it could be possible to store the content of ~/Documents/FoilAuth on the SD card instead of the phone or do you think that if I create a sym link it would still work, even after reboot? Cheers

    Symlink should work as long as the target directory/volume is there.

    The worst application I used. Lost a lot of accounts because of using it. It asks for password, which I forget after 1 minute. Next day, I need to create a new password, because the previous one is forgotten. And this lasts for months.

    SailOTP (https://openrepos.net/content/seiichiro0185/sailotp) is an alternative without a password.

    Yeah, the whole point of this one is to protect OTP secrets with a password. Which some may argue isn't that important if you have the entire user partition encrypted (mine isn't).

    If Foil Auth settings page doesn't show up, you may have to fix /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/ApplicationsGrid.qml (look for root.openSandboxed) or you can modify /apps/harbour-foilauth/autoLock from the command line e.g. dconf write /apps/harbour-foilauth/autoLock false. Sadboxing may have messed things up in the application settings area too.

    https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/7598/openssl-libs10-1... will give you libcrypto.so.1

    Thu, 2021/11/04 - 14:47

    I swear I didn't delete it)) Seriously speaking, it looks like I have no choice but to link openssl statically in order to keep the app compatible with both systems not having libcrypto.so.10 and those not having libcrypto.so.1.1 which sadly will make the app HUGE. That sucks. It really does. Especially considering that libcrypto.so.10 was allowed in Jolla Store.

    In the meantime, you can find a build linked against your favorite release from Chum. With the introduction of SFOS 4.3, releases are no longer backward compatible. It's hard to describe how I detest that.

    another round here: no, don't do that but link dynamically to openssl1.1 and jolla1 users just install openssl from here: https://openrepos.net/content/lpr/curl

    slava

    Sun, 2021/11/07 - 22:09

    And another round here: Chum is your friend if you want an armv7hl build linked against openssl1.1. There's nothing wrong with linking openssl1.0 or anything else statically if it's not part of the OS anymore.

    lpr

    Sun, 2021/11/07 - 22:16

    to all SFOS users: please update your openssl.

    Then a version linked against 1.1.1 is backward compatible

    slava's picture

    slava

    Sun, 2021/11/07 - 22:31

    Oh come on. A version dynamically linked with openssl1.1 can't be backward compatible with the systems which don't have openssl1.1.

    I can't do it for the user. And if the user is skilled enough to do it, then he/she must be skilled enough to install a variant of my app linked against openssl1.1 from already mentioned Chum. Right?

    I did consider statically linking openssl1.1, but it didn't compile out of the box against sufficiently old SDK. So it's not as trivial as you're trying to make it sound.

    Can I copy the last key file in another SFOS phone and reload the OTPs?

    slava's picture

    slava

    Thu, 2021/11/04 - 19:27

    If you copy the key ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key and encrypted files from ~/Documents/FoilAuth to another phone, the secrets should get loaded. Note, however, that if you overwrite ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key with a different one, you lose access to the secrets encrypted with the old key. Be careful.
    Another (and safer) way to transfer OTP secrets between devices is a QR code - show it on one device and then read from the other, that works between devices with different keys. There is even a bulk sharing function on the Select page. No bulk import though (yet).

    I had to download the aarch64 rpm from the github page, somehow it was not available through Openrepos. Thanks for this great app. Migration from XA2 was easy using the QR code

    Strange, aarch64 rpm is available from this page too. Anyway, I'm glad that you've got it installed one way or the other. Cheers!

    Just wondering, if you ever thought of having a way to backup things to SD card from app itself?
    Now I have a script, that creates a backup of the files on my SD card, but its a bit of a hassle.

    Yes, I did think about it (and even drafted a prototype) but decided to write a separate backup app instead, which would cover all my Foil apps at once and possibly any custom user-specified dconf/filesystem entries in addition to that. But that app isn't ready yet.

    Are you adding HOTP support in near future? Id like to use this app instead of SailOTP, just cause it has the codes behind encrypted password and not open to everyone like SailOTP if they get access to phone.
    I guess no need for import/export, cause you can just copy the ~/Documents/FoilAuth file? Do I need to backup the ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key file too? Just wanna know how correctly backup things, if anything bad happens to phone!
    I have multiple Jolla devices and would like to copy tokens to those too. How can I accomplish this?

    You mean counter-based OTP? That shouldn't be too hard, I just wasn't sure if anyone is using that.

    As for backup/export, yes you need both ~/Documents/FoilAuth directory and ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key file - the latter is the RSA private key required for decrypting your tokens (the key itself being AES-encrypted with your password)
