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 is not multi-platform so if that matters...does anyone have FreeOTP experience?

There's 2FAS if you need something open-source and multi-platform.

I read the website, but I couldn't see how the account syncing occurs between the mobile apps and the browser extensions. I installed the browser extension but didn't see a way to make an account. Do I have to self-host the data for syncing?

The addon is used to send a request to auto-type a token. You get the prompt on the phone, and when you accept the token is auto-typed and the website+token selected is saved for the next time, so on the next request you just need to approve on the phone.
