This is a little stupid project that I created after seeing what AI can do nowadays.
In an "ideal" world:
- everybody should start using public/private key cryptography to authenticate each other, but that's still rather unwieldy nowadays. I'm not aware of any solution with a good UX;
- people would stop posting their photos/videos/audio recordings on the web, and also scrub anything that have been uploaded in the past.
We don't live in an "ideal" world, and TOTP is pretty widespread now, and you can easily read the TOTP code over the phone, etc. So this solution was born.
I’m glad you like it. The whole thing might be a bit paranoid, but it was a fun exercise trying to get an LLM to code for me (I used DeepSeek to code the base, and then manually fixed some stuff, and then asked DeepSeek to add i18n for me).

This is really clever and elegant. Thanks for building it.
