Thanks for the heads up, I was actually looking for alternative.

Just downloaded it and easily imported all my files. Btw, the fingerprint unlock feature is cool!

I might replace my old Google Authenticator for this one, it's open sourced and password protected, what can you more, I am not comfortable using Google's version because of lack of security and not being open sourced, this is Google of course they own it and they can have an access on it, something that I'm afraid could happen in the future.

The app's local storage itself can be encrypted with a password via the settings. If you do a backup though, the exported .json file is not encrypted. In fact, you can open the backup file and you can view the 2FA keys there, hence it's not a great idea to leave the backup unencrypted on your phone/computer's storage. It'd definitely be a good idea to VeraCrypt-ify the backup.

The finger print unlock is just an option that you can turn on via the settings. If you want to be more secure without minding the hassle, you can stick with the password unlock; which also can be much more secure than a pin lock(assuming you don't use a dictionary word as your password).

Interesting. Nice find really
The problem is that it is Android only. If it were desktop/Android at least it would be be nice (I like to have one device as backup

Good thing I like is that Aegis also supports F-Droid and it is OpenSoruce.
No need to have GooglePlay installed.
Some people are privacy fanatics

Thanks, but I prefer to use authy, which just let me install anywhere without any turn arounds.

We really need more competition in this 2ffa software market

I don't agree authy is like blockchain.com

If a hacker get access to my authy account he can't login in any account that I have.
He won't even know the logins (neither the passwords) to the websites which the 2fa is enabled.

On the other hand, if a hacker get access to a blockchain.com account, that's enough to get the funds.


In case of authy, The data stored in a third party server is just useless, while the bitcoin blockchain.com is not.

Maximum security is nice for things that need maximum security, such as money. But access to those accounts in exchanges, which shouldn't have any money in the first place, doesn't need maximum security. Actually, " oversecurity " is a problem imo.

I have been using Authenci for a long time, since I entered this market! However, it has many inconveniences that make me uncomfortable. This article is really helpful to me. How can I transfer my data to this aegis platform?

What is the downside? You have the option to export the database in a encrypted format or in plain text. Free choice is always better than a single choice for everyone, and the fact that they have support for encrypted backups is super B.
