      Does anyone know if existing linux phones can run 2FA apps such as Duo or Google authenticator?

        Why do you need the google Authenticator? Proton has it too. Which (from searching) looks like it’s compatible for the Ubuntu systems. But that’s just from the search. I ‘m personally just using it with a android right now. I am currently eyeing up the fairphone Ubuntu as my next phone

          Why do you need the google Authenticator?

          Systems at work use google authenticator for 2FA. Prior jobs have used Duo.

            Google Authenticator is merely a generic TOTP token storage app. The person you’re replying to was pointing out that Google Authenticator, specifically, isn’t necessary. There are alternatives, and unless you’re using a company-owned device that restricts the apps you can use there is no way for work to dictate which app you use for TOTP tokens.

            Duo, Okta Verify, and other 2FA apps that use push notifications and such, are a different beast altogether.
