What 2FA app you recommend?

    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:

        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.
