Clockwork Vérification en 2 Étapes application pour Android description
Clockwork generates two-factor codes (TOTP, RFC 6238) entirely on your device. The Android app declares no INTERNET permission — it cannot go online, and you can check that claim yourself in the manifest.
The app is the projects single-file web build carried by a system WebView: the same clockwork.html you can download from a release and open on any computer.
What it does:
- Generates TOTP codes — SHA-1, SHA-256 or SHA-512, 6 to 8 digits, any period. The countdown is a 30-mark dial with a rotating hand, not a progress ring.
- Takes input in every shape you are likely to have it: raw Base32, otpauth:// URIs, a whole Google Authenticator export, or a QR code from the camera or an image.
- Explains broken lines instead of failing silently.
- Optionally remembers your secrets behind a passphrase — strictly opt-in, AES-256-GCM over PBKDF2-SHA-256 with 600,000 iterations, with an auto-lock. Without the vault, nothing is stored at all.
- Speaks 37 languages, all bundled, including right-to-left layouts.
The camera permission exists solely for the QR scanner and is declared optional hardware; importing a QR code from an image works without it. Auto-backup is disabled, so the encrypted vault never leaves the device.
The OTP algorithms are implemented from scratch against the RFC test vectors — no OTP library. The only borrowed crypto primitive is the Web Crypto API.
Important, independent of this app:
Set up backup codes with every provider before relying on any authenticator. They are the only thing that gets you back in when the secret is gone.
