Ente Auth two-factor codes in the KDE Plasma panel.

What it does

Click the panel icon, type a few letters, press Enter, and the code is on the clipboard.
Stays in sync: while unlocked it fetches changes from Ente every 10 minutes through the official Ente CLI.
Codes are encrypted on disk with scrypt and AES-256-GCM and decrypted only into the memory of a small background process.
Copied codes stay out of Klipper’s history and are cleared after 30 seconds.
Service logos come from Ente Auth and Simple Icons. The sets are downloaded once as a whole, so no request reveals which services you use.
An ente-codes command for the terminal, with JSON output.

Problem: There was no way to reach the two-factor codes in Ente Auth from the KDE Plasma panel, and a desktop widget that holds them has to keep them safe.
My role: My own project: idea, design, development.
Solution: A Rust core keeps the decrypted codes in pinned memory in a background process, and the QML widget only runs its command. Sync goes through the official Ente CLI, and the passphrase travels over D-Bus, never on a command line.
Result: Open source under GPL-2.0-or-later for KDE Plasma 6, installed per user with one script. Not affiliated with Ente.

A widget that brings the two-factor codes from Ente Auth into the KDE Plasma panel. Search, click, and the code is copied.

It stays in sync with Ente. A Rust core keeps the codes encrypted on disk and out of clipboard history.
