About this app

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.

Compatibility
Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms. These two algorithms are industry-standard and widely supported, making Aegis compatible with thousands of services. Any web service that supports Google Authenticator will also work with Aegis Authenticator.

Encryption and biometric unlock
All of your one-time passwords are stored in a vault. If you choose to set a password (highly recommended), the vault will be encrypted using strong cryptography. If someone with malicious intent gets a hold of the vault file, itā€™s impossible for them to retrieve the contents without knowing the password. Entering your password each time you need access to a one-time password can be cumbersome. Fortunately, you can also enable biometric unlock if your device has a biometrics sensor (i.e. fingerprint or face unlock).

Organization
Over time, you'll likely accumulate tens of entries in your vault. Aegis Authenticator has lots of organization options to make finding the one you need at a particular moment easier. Set a custom icon for an entry to make it easier to find. Search by account name or service name. Have a lot of one-time passwords? Add them to custom groups for easier access. Personal, Work and Social can each get their own group.

Backups
To make sure you will never lose access to your online accounts, Aegis Authenticator can create automatic backups of the vault to a location of your choosing. If your cloud provider supports the Storage Access Framework of Android (like Nextcloud does), it can even create automatic backups to the cloud. Creating manual exports of the vault is also supported.

Making the switch
To make the switch easier, Aegis Authenticator can import the entries of lots of other authenticators, including: Authenticator Plus, Authy, andOTP, FreeOTP, FreeOTP+, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Steam, TOTP Authenticator and WinAuth (root access is required for the apps that don't have an option to export).

Loving it so far. Though I do have one feature request. The main reason we open an authenticator app is to copy the codes. So I thought it would be better if we can copy the code with one tap instead of hoding down and then tap copy on top. That will be very slick. Update: thanks for the quick response devs. Kudos. The app became more fluent to mešŸ‘

Thanks for the review. Have you tried enabling copying tokens on tap under Behavior settings?

This is a good open-source and offline only method of storing 2FA codes instead of some more well-known authenticator apps. I lost the 2FA code for one of my accounts stored in here after an apparent bug, but the developers promptly reached out to me and it seems to have resolved after a reboot. I only had one account stored with this, but others may consider keeping a backup option.

Hi Christopher. Thanks for your review and we are sorry you're having issues. This issue has been introduced with the Pixel June update and luckily already been fixed with the July update. Could you try updating your phone and see if that fixes it? Either that or a reboot will temporarily fix your device. Please send us an email so we can elaborate

I've been striving to free myself from big tech. Aegis Authenticator is a part of that. It's fantastic as an authenticator, it's free and open source software and it actually lets you make database backups that you can access. Other authenticators, if they have a backup at all, require you to upload to their servers and there's no guarantee they're storing it safely. Aegis doesn't have that problem because backups are your own responsibility. Great app, a must-have!
