Nice. But as a BitWarden user, it's useless to me. I've never put all my eggs in one account basket.
Passwords on one service, MFA on another, email on yet another, etc.

I assume its still absolutely impossible to migrate from one authenticator app to another without having to set it all up again?
As long as you can access the keys, you can swap authenticator apps.
I tried a few until I landed in Aegis, and I have two on my desktop that I'm trying out as well. Just get something that allows exporting the keys and there will be a path to switching apps.
You can use Authenticator Pro (android, opensesource) and Proton Pass, both let you copy the TOTP generation code to paste into another without problem. Both generate exact code
In fact that's how I am using them right now, with Authenticator Pro is my on-device, offline, encrypted backup offline backup TOTP for Pass.
I guess it is not as straight forward as export import as you hope, but it's not as bad as other options used to be.
"Import" does appear on the roadmap for this month, we probably can't know what's the scope fr that but you'llhave your answer soon :p
Authy killed their Windows app so its been on my mind. Im trying to use Roboform integrated mfa more, but i probably have 50 accounts in authy.
Any reason to switch from Aegis?
Is there anything about Aegis that makes it better than Authy? Just looking at the page for Aegis, I'm not seeing a lot of difference. And it being Android only limits it.
It's open source. Authy isn't.
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.
Honestly, TOTP is so simple it would take a lot to switch from Aegis, and most of that would be from Aegis screwing up.
Not yet.
No icons, no ability to save notes, a URL or back it up in an encrypted json.
I will definitely keep an eye on it though.
Thats what i want to know, i use Authy, and want to know if its worth switching for.
