Aegis vs Authy (lemmy.ml)

Hey y'all!

I've been using Authy for some time now (switched from Google Authenticator) but an increasing amount of people is suggesting Aegis over Authy in some posts here at Lemmy and that got me curious.

Was wondering what would be the main selling points for one to use Aegis instead of Authy, can somebody help out?

Thanks in advance!

You might want to check out FreeOTP+, open source OTP client, all stored locally so be sure to backup everything from time to time.

I was using Authy for a few years until I started caring more about my online security and privacy.

I never heard of Aegis, but it seems like a good open source OTP client with automatic backups!

There's also Authenticator Pro , which is also open source and looks better than Aegis.
