[QUOTE="Ink, post: 1071394, member: 3"] I would consider ente Auth reasonable respective of what they offer. Exodus-Privacy.eu is a useful privacy tool. It should not discourage users from installing apps, but rather make informed decisions. App developers may allow crash reporting and analytics to be disabled. Not all permissions are dangerous and in fact are required to make an app more functional. [LIST] [*]Camera - Use(s) capture QR codes when adding the secret key from an online account. [/LIST] [SPOILER=Examples] Other Auth apps: [LIST] [*]Aegis Authenticator - [URL='https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.beemdevelopment.aegis/latest/']4 permissions - εxodus[/URL] [*]Authenticator Pro - [URL='https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/me.jmh.authenticatorpro/latest/']10 permissions - εxodus[/URL] [*]Microsoft Authenticator - [URL='https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.azure.authenticator/latest/']5 trackers, 34 permissions - εxodus[/URL] [/LIST] No one seems to mind the default [URL='https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.google.android.apps.messaging/latest/']Google Messages app with its 70 permissions[/URL].[/SPOILER] Edit: Since Android 6, users need to Allow permission requests before an App gets access to the Camera, Files etc. [/QUOTE]
