About this app

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).

Loving it so far, I'm glad there is an encrypted backup system, lots of 2fa apps lack that. Support for custom icons and tons of different settings to change the way it looks and behaves; all while having 0 ads! Honestly, they could charge $.99 or $1.99 and I'd still love it! Edit: Just donated $5, awesome stuff :) Edit 2: One year later and this is still my favorite 2FA application.

Aegis is my go-to app for two-factor authentication (2FA). It's super easy to use and has tons of great features, like quick tiles and app icons for different services. But my favorite thing about Aegis is the backup file feature. This makes it super easy to switch devices or recover your accounts if you lose your phone. I highly recommend Aegis to anyone who wants a secure and easy-to-use 2FA app.

This app far exceeded my expectations! The security of this 2FA app surpasses any similar app, mainly because it has security options and the other apps don't. I very much like that I can hide all codes and only show what I need. I've only had one minor issue, and that is its cooperation with lastpass. Lastpass pops up to input the password, but I just want to use the fingerprint method. Upon closing the lastpass pop-up, it won't take my fingerprint. I'm certain that I can stop lastpass from popping up for this specific app, but I don't understand why this app stops accepting fingerprints after it does.
