From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there any way to emulate aegis authenticator (fdroid) on an ubuntu based computer? (linux.community)

ubuntu 23.10

I can access my employer’s local network if I authenticate with a 2fa. They suggest proprietary software, but aegis authenticator (found in fdroid) works fine.

The thing is, the phone’s screen is too small and it’s very cumbersome to navigate the screen and to click. It’s so bad I don’t want to use it, because fonts are so small you cannot read anything. It’s like they didn’t even try to optimize the local network for devices.

However, if I could emulate this app on an ubuntu based computer, I’d use it. Can it be done?

You can also mirror your Android screen via Scrcpy https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

Open Aegis, go to settings and then disable screen security. (Enabling screen security helps protect against and malicious screen capturing by malware)

From there, it will show your Aegis screen on your PC. It requires ADB access so it depends on if you have that installed or can install it. But the link can get you through that part. :)
