Tutorial

I found quite interesting the first start experience.
Is there a way to restart the Tutorial?
Among the menus Options, Data file Base and About the App, I search Help to access again to the Tutorial.

Simplify 2fast GitHub home page

1. Shorten long sentences.
2. Add hyperlink to each keyword such as TOTP, AES, PBKDF2, WebDAV, UWP.
   Most rookies do not have the faintest idea about what you are talking.
3. Move what is beta in a separated chapter.

The About first sentence could be too long for international end users.
Improve and fix the following:

About 2fast

2fast is a free, open source generator of a temporary numeric id to confirm your identity.
It is a two-factor authenticator supporting TOTP for Windows 10 and 11.
It saves its encrypted database in the local hard disk.

Using 2fast

Consider the basic example of the login to an online server such as GitHub now in two steps:

1. In the Web browser, enter your login as usual with your GitHub's UserName and Password.
   In parallel, 2fast generates offline every minute a PIN for your GitHub.
2. In the browser, enter online this PIN as second factor authentication 2FA asked by GitHub.

If the PIN generated by 2fast is used in the current minute on the configured device,
the user's identity is confirmed. GitHub opens its gates.

The offline desktop application 2fast does NOT communicate with the GitHub online server in a Web browser.

And so on about the preliminary configuration of the shared secret:

1. Generated by GitHub through a QR code;
2. Scanned by 2fast
3. Saved by 2fast in its local database.2fa physically specific to one and only one Windows PC.

Textual github-recovery-codes could be saved in 2fast > GitHub account > ... > edit > Notes.

Installing 2fast

The logo "Get it from Microsoft" is unclear.
It is too close to the choco statement.

Instead of "For Windows operating systems:", replace with:

Windows Start > Microsoft Store to safely download 2fast.
Microsoft Defender will automatically check the executable.

Where is installed 2fast?

2fast will be installed in the hidden folder:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

Even with the password of the administrator of the PC, there is not direct access to the 2fast's location.

Windows Start > 2fast > Contextual menu Open file location is not available.

Trusting 2fast

Anyway, you can trust 2fast because it is both open source and installed from Microsoft Store.
No need to expose your smartphone to an Android unknown "greedy" application thanks to the Windows desktop application 2fast!
