    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 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:

          1. Can scan QR codes
          2. Categories
          3. Hide all numbers except the one I tap on
          4. Countdown indication
          5. Import/Export

          andOTP and Aegis both do all of this.
