Gnome Authenticator

Looking for a 2FA app for the Gnome Desktop, I discovered Gnome Authenticator.  I did not see the app in any repository or in AUR, so I installed the Flatpak.  The app seems to be exactly what I am looking for EXCEPT I can't find a way to password protect the app.  Some YouTube videos I have seen showing how the apps works clearly shows the app launching and prompting for a password.  But I can't find a setting anywhere to enable a password.

Anyone know of a way to turn this on?

Re: Gnome Authenticator

Hello there,

Just a heads up, Bitwarden requires subscription for it's builtin 2FA code generator, which is relatively cheap (eg. 10USD/Year).
