Isn’t the value of two factor auth that it requires a physical device (your phone or computer) with the auth key to authenticate you? Then why don’t many two factor auth apps seem to support syncing? If it’s fine to do so, are there any open source cross platform apps that sync keys?

    the default service is not FOSS

    You mean server? If so, the server is also open source (https://github.com/bitwarden/server), but the default instance (bitwarden.com) is not totaly free - you have to have a payed subscription for some of the features. If you self-host, then you have all the features (free and/or premium) - and this can also be done with Vaultwarden which is a FOSS alternative to the official server.

      That is what i meant. It is OSS but not FOSS because you need a key to start it.
