As I updated the version to 1.4.0 , adding the ‘import’ feature I am sharing this here.

I made this extension because I couldn’t find one that wouldn’t ask for too much permissions (such as accessing all websites data).

Eventually I found it nice to have a TOTP that can really be audited, the code is 649 lines of JS, 214 CSS and 52 HTML. Feel free to fork, copy part of it, contribute or just request fix/features.

I have used it for more than a year every day and it works nicely.

    I appreciate you have put effort into this, and you have gone out of your way to make it safer, but if the extension were to become malicious at a later date, expanding permissions (and relying on users brainlessly-clicking accept) or using an exploit or sidechannel would undo any of that.

    The downside of browser extensions is that they are operating within a massive codebase, and thus have a huge attack surface if they decide to become malicious.

    For what its worth, I commend your efforts here, its just near impossible to trust any peice of software not backed by the reputation of an established company/developer.
