[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 904998, member: 88069"] I switched from andOTP to Aegis Authenticator a little over a year go myself. Mainly for the features that Aegis offers additionally regarding the vault's encryption, it's unlocking and everything else is a nice thing to have at this point for me. A nice bonus on the side is that it looks more simplistic and better organized with some minor size customization features available. The tokens themselves are also encrypted, but i cant remember if andOTP also had that or not... Most of the issues i had with it are probably fixed by now most likely. Essentially they do the same thing, though its nice that natively Aegis supports a dozen imports directly from both app-to-app (for example: Google, Authy, Microsoft and Steam) integration as well as token files. And for those few that use Blizzard Authentication there is a tutorial on their wiki [URL='https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/wiki#1-blizzard-authenticator']beemdevelopment/Aegis/wiki#1-blizzard-authenticator[/URL] to show how to get the app serial code for token transfer compatibility. From the FAQ on the website: [URL='https://getaegis.app/']Aegis Authenticator - Brand new 2FA app for Android[/URL] And andOTP has been in need for development help/contributions for a while now as well. The original maintainer of the app doesn't have as much time anymore to put into it which, for me personally, is fine. Though since i already switched i have more trust in the maintenance of Aegis, but that is a matter of preference if nothing else. [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP#help-wanted[/URL] In short: they do the same thing, one just takes simplicity and functionality support a step further than the other. Cant go wrong with either, if you ask me. I just happen to prefer Aegis after having used both, albeit a far older version of andOTP as it's been over a year.
