App summary

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.

Compatibility
Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms. These two algorithms are industry-standard and widely supported, making Aegis compatible with thousands of services. Any web service that supports Google Authenticator will also work with Aegis Authenticator.

Encryption and biometric unlock
All of your one-time passwords are stored in a vault. If you choose to set a password (highly recommended), the vault will be encrypted using strong cryptography. If someone with malicious intent gets a hold of the vault file, it’s impossible for them to retrieve the contents without knowing the password. Entering your password each time you need access to a one-time password can be cumbersome. Fortunately, you can also enable biometric unlock if your device has a biometrics sensor (i.e. fingerprint or face unlock).

Organization
Over time, you'll likely accumulate tens of entries in your vault. Aegis Authenticator has lots of organization options to make finding the one you need at a particular moment easier. Set a custom icon for an entry to make it easier to find. Search by account name or service name. Have a lot of one-time passwords? Add them to custom groups for easier access. Personal, Work and Social can each get their own group.

Backups
To make sure you will never lose access to your online accounts, Aegis Authenticator can create automatic backups of the vault to a location of your choosing. If your cloud provider supports the Storage Access Framework of Android (like Nextcloud does), it can even create automatic backups to the cloud. Creating manual exports of the vault is also supported.

Making the switch
To make the switch easier, Aegis Authenticator can import the entries of lots of other authenticators, including: Authenticator Plus, Authy, andOTP, FreeOTP, FreeOTP+, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Steam, TOTP Authenticator and WinAuth (root access is required for the apps that don't have an option to export).

Very simple, it just works Exactly how I'd imagine my favorite apps. Moved from authy for a number of reasons: their UI change was the last straw - such big invasive updates are unwelcome and complicate a very simple thing which you seem to do quite well. Additionally their lack of export, which you just make seamless. If I want to leave, you've made the process a great user experience. Also appreciate the ability to backup wherever I want to instead of where you want me to.

No tracking at all, none, zero. Why aren't all apps like this? I have a minor gripe about the language used to describe automatic backups, it says to "external" storage but it isn't it is to internal storage. If you want to backup to external storage (Dropbox Drive etc) you need to do it manually but that's no big deal.

Loving it so far. Though I do have one feature request. The main reason we open an authenticator app is to copy the codes. So I thought it would be better if we can copy the code with one tap instead of hoding down and then tap copy on top. That will be very slick. Update: thanks for the quick response devs. Kudos. The app became more fluent to me👍
