Amiga Tool Jam: AmiAuthenticator v1.0.2 (update)
AmiAuthenticator was also written for the Amiga Tool Jam and is a 2FA (two-factor authentication) code generator for the Amiga that is compatible with many websites that use 2FA. It generates TOTP (Time based one time passwords) codes with SHA1 or SHA256. Similar (non-Amiga) applications are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator and FreeOTP. These codes can be used to secure access to various websites, e.g. GitHub, LastPass, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram.

Depending on preference or installed GUI, the tool can be started as a MUI-, ReAction- or Gadtools-based version. All versions require at least Kickstart/Workbench 2.0. Since a UTC time source is needed, it is important that the system clock is set accurately and it is preferable to have a real-time clock installed or to synchronise the system with the internet. The source code is available on GitHub.

Update: (31.10.2023, 21:00, dr)

Version 1.02 released:

fixed invalid memory access error on first startup causing a crash for some users
the items saving was completely broken and was saving blank string

30.Oct.2023 Amiga Tool Jam: DrawerGenie
For the Amiga Tool Jam, which ends tomorrow, numerous contributions have been submitted recently, which we would like to present briefly in individual messages.

Originally running under the working title "Drawer Helper" (amiga-news.de reported), Rob 'daedalus2097' Cranley has released the commodity "DrawerGenie" for AmigaOS 3.5 or higher. DrawerGenie allows you to add simple toolbars to the Workbench drawer windows. These provide some simple DOpus-like Workbench functions, such as defining a target window and sending selected files to it, copying and pasting files, switching view modes, sorting files, handling archives and more. File operations show a progress bar, are asynchronous and can be cancelled.

Drawer Helper was written in AmiBlitz, the source code is available on GitHub.
