Authentication program for Leap 15.5
Amazon Web Services is demanding I use an Authenticator app, hardware TOTP Token, Passkey or Security key to sign in. Is there an Authenticator program for Leap 15.5? TIA, Jeffrey

The main point of authenticator apps is that they are something separate from your PC. If your second-factor authentication is done using the same device, that holds your password in a manager, it's no longer a second factor and defeats the whole purpose. But if you insist, there is for example pass-otp [1], an extension for pass [2], which keeps everything on your device encrypted with gpg key. Or if you are interested in really increasing your security, then you can buy a yubikey [3] and use the yubioath app [3], which works both on desktops and phones.

I just use an authenticator on my phone. I have one from Googe & Microsoft. Never had a need to use the Microsoft one though.

There is also https://github.com/helloworld1/FreeOTPPlus, for anyone wanting a FOSS one.

Except you have to run Android to use it?

Yes, It's not for Leap. At least not as long as we don't have working waydroid or something like that.
