WinAuth is a portable, open-source Windows desktop application that acts as a software two-factor authenticator, supporting RFC 6238 TOTP and HOTP codes as well as game-specific authenticators (Battle.net, Steam, Guild Wars 2, RuneScape, SWTOR) and Bitcoin exchange sites. It consolidates multiple authenticators in one interface with password, machine-binding, and YubiKey protection.

Use cases

  • generate 2fa codes on windows for google authenticator compatible services
  • manage steam guard and trading confirmations from my pc
  • store battle.net and guild wars 2 authenticators in one app
  • protect my bitcoin exchange account with two-factor authentication
  • back up and restore game authenticators on windows
  • copy totp codes to clipboard with hotkeys

When to choose

  • you need a free, portable Windows desktop app to hold multiple TOTP/HOTP authenticators
  • you play games with proprietary authenticators like Steam, Battle.net, or Guild Wars 2 and want them on desktop
  • you want YubiKey or machine-bound protection for your 2fa secrets

When to avoid

  • you need a mobile authenticator for Android or iOS
  • you want actively developed software with ongoing updates - the project is near end of life
  • you need a browser-based or cross-platform (macOS/Linux) authenticator
