I own a handy asus x00p with android 8 that fits my hand (released in 2018). I have a newer android 11 device (released in 2020) but it’s larger and heavier and I don’t really like using it.
What are the security risks, if I go ahead using the 2018 model to 2fauthenticate?
You can use an OTP Generator like Aegis Authenticator from F-Droid. Afaik it even works offline, so there should be no risk if you strictly keep it offline.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
5. Engage respectfully: Harassment, flamebaiting, bad faith engagement, or agenda posting will result in your posts being removed. Excessive violations will result in temporary or permanent ban, depending on severity.
6. Memes are not allowed to be posts, but are allowed in the comments.
7. Posts from clickbait sources are heavily discouraged. Please de-clickbait titles if it needs to be submitted.
8. Submission statements of any length composed of your own thoughts inside the post text field are mandatory for any microblog posts, and are optional but recommended for article/image/video posts.

Why would an OTP generator even need connection to anything?
Cloud backup or to download images for the services the code links to.
Both are optional with Aegis, I use Aegis also.
