IMO specific apps are much easier to use on a phone or tablet than a browser. But the Android browser I use, Chrome, also remembers the device for each site and thus only one 2FA per site I use is required as in my apps. YMMV depending on the site I suppose but all mine be it app or browser only need one 2FA per device if so set. >Does any web browser store 2FA codes for reuse on login? The only browser I use for 2FA is Chrome on everything: Android, W11, and Chrome OS stuff. It works the same on all. Only one 2FA per app/device unless set otherwise. >Perhaps DOM >Storage (aka site data) gets used for that. I doubt any secure site is >going to use cookies. I configure my web browser (Firefox) to purge >*all* its locally cached data on exit I do the same with my Firefox browsers. But of course they won't remember anything including 2FA being set that way. If you get tired of redoing 2FA I suggest you get one browser just for that purpose. >as a countermeasure to tracking, >and up my privacy, and tweak the web browser to improve security. >Firefox on Android permits extensions like uBlock Origin. Chrome on >Android does not allow any extensions. True. That's why I use apps. >As for web-centric apps, has there been any independent audits on each >one to determine their login security, and secure local files storing >any user data? Don't most use the accounts stored in Android itself, so >those get reused. I don't think Android is storing any 2FA codes or >other token in the accounts stored in Android. Dunno. I put my trust in the individual apps. If I can't trust my bank, investment, utilities, Walmart, etc, what can I trust? Walmart does pretty good BTW. It lets me buy stuff without a new 2FA each time but to reorder prescriptions from the pharmacy section it requires a pin to get in...
