    Did Microsoft just pull a Google on a Google product? Mind blowing.

        Can confirm KeePassXC works. But Aegis is android only and Bitwarden TOTP code generation is still paid right now.

            They allow it now? Last I checked even self hosted bitwarden needs a license for premium features. You could always use vaultwarden instead if you’re gonna self host.

              yes it is vaultwarden that i was thinking of, not bitwarden selfhosted. my bad. i actually just spun up a new vaultwarden last night using docker compose. its got a long list of environment variables but still makes it super easy to set up in a flash

    If they hadn’t locked into amazon appstore, I feel like they could have made it work.

    Either cough up money for Playstore or better yet just make windows store compatible with android and easier to use.

      The Amazon app store is the most mature app store outside of Google Play. It’s not just as simple as converting the Windows store to Android because of course they would need to develop an Android version of every app in the windows store.

    Whelp, even less reason to upgrade to Windows 11 when Windows 10 is retired. Microsoft doing its best to convince me to switch to Linux full-time.

    Nice, I actually used this to make a nice time of reading manga and comics on my surface with tachiyomi. Now I have to find a different workflow.

      Btw, Tachiyomi isn’t being developed anymore after the cease and desist they got. The fork that replaced it is Mihon.
