Google Authenticator

wikipedia:Google Authenticator (2010) is a software-based authenticator by Google that implements two-step verification services using the Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP; specified in RFC 6238) and HMAC-based One-time Password algorithm (HOTP; specified in RFC 4226), for authenticating users of software applications.

Google Authenticator was open-source until 2013
