I've been using Authy for some time now (switched from Google Authenticator) but an increasing amount of people is suggesting Aegis over Authy in some posts here at Lemmy and that got me curious.

Was wondering what would be the main selling points for one to use Aegis instead of Authy, can somebody help out?

Thanks in advance!

Aegis lets you choose if you want your keys exported/backed up/included in the android backup. You have to setup a password to encrypt the storage and it came with every backup option disabled when I installed it. So should be safe.

Authy also has the option to backup to cloud. So you probably need to use Google Authenticator if you want to be locked out of your accounts in case you lose your phone.
