It shall be noted that KDE Plasma Keysmith is a dedicated application for TOTP and that GNOME Secrets also supports them. Both can be used on the PinePhone or PinePhone Pro, as well as on the PineTab and Pinebook series and other GNU/Linux computers.
Note that this versatility is also TOTP's drawback from the website's point of view: It can easily be set up on the same device that also stores your password (GNOME Secrets even lets you store both in the same application right next to each other), making it not really two-factor anymore, and the website has no way to even know that you are doing that. So banks and the like are unlikely to allow it.
