Still use Google Authenticator. I know there are alternatives out there that have other features but I'm a pretty strong believer that my 2FA shouldn't be backed up digitally. I keep any recovery information offline and prefer it that way.
I've used andOTP and now Aegis (as a result of this thread). Neither require cloud backups.
I've used andotp for like 2 years. Why everyone is suggesting Aegis ? Did you find any major differences?
These apps are all pretty basic. I don't see any major differences. It's slightly more modern looking, and it checks a lot of boxes for people as far as being simple, open source, and available through multiple channels (Google Play being one). Apparently andOTP hasn't had any updates in a while, but a 2FA app shouldn't need many updates anyway.
Things I want in a 2FA app:
- Can scan QR codes
- Categories
- Hide all numbers except the one I tap on
- Countdown indication
- Import/Export
andOTP and Aegis both do all of this.
