2FA Authenticator app - Aegis by Beem Development
I used to use Authy... But tell me why Authy needs to know my location? Microsoft authenticator also collects location. Google authenticator collects photos and videos and device contacts!
2FA Authenticators are literally supposed to just generate compute a random number. Aegis is free, and doesn't collect anything.

So, Ente, a FOSS provider of 2FA (and photos) doesn't have 2FA for their account. 🤔 TOTP-based, I mean, not e-mail 2FA, which it does have. 😐
The other weird thing being:
When I enable email based 2FA, after entering the email id, it asks for the verification code (sent to email), and then the password. 😬 Never seen such a UX. :blobcatgoogly:
Lastly, for some reason, while importing my codes from #Aegis Authenticator, the app would hang (kept buffering) and not import the codes at all. I had to do the plain text import. 🙃
Finally deleting my authy account. I stopped using it ages ago. I refreshed my 2FA tokens a way back and then I went though and removed them from Authy a minute ago. Now I'm doing the last step and just deleting my account. Now that that's done I gotta just delete all the apps.
#AEgIS transforms #smartphone sensors into an antimatter camera of unprecedented resolution. The AEgIS collaboration, led by a team from the Technical University of Munich, has repurposed smartphone #camera sensors to create a detector capable of imaging #antiproton annihilations in real time with unprecedented resolution https://home.cern/news/news/experiments/aegis-transforms-smartphone-sensors-antimatter-camera-unprecedented
@carsten_O Es gibt auch #vaultwarden als alternatives Backend zu @bitwarden
OTP-basierte MFA-Token können auch in einer verschlüsselten Datei in der @nextcloud abgelegt werden, #Aegis macht das z.B. so: https://getaegis.app/
For #2FA on #Android I have been using #Aegis Authenticator for some time.
What I appreciate most is that it's #opensource . The app never connects to the internet, which gives me peace of mind that my authentication codes stay on my device.
The interface is straightforward - no ads, no upsells, just a clean list of my accounts with their codes. When I got a new phone, the encrypted export feature made transferring everything painless.

@alextecplayz I seem to have issues in reading #Codeberg's #QR code in #Aegis. It starts the camera all right but refuses to acknowledge the QR code on the screen. Weird.
A lot of banks in the Philippines still rely on SMS for #2FA, despite how insecure it is—easily spoofed, intercepted, and unreliable. Some use in-app confirmations via their mobile app, but if you lose access to your phone, you're probably locked out. Why not support standard authentication apps like #2FAS, #Aegis, #Bitwarden, #Vaultwarden, or #KeePassXC, which have TOTP support and easy backups? That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about losing access. #MFA #MultiFactorAuthentication #Security
at tech people, how should I keep both my 2FA archive and their recovery codes safe and up to date? :neobot_w:
I am currently using Aegis and Bitwarden for this stuff
I have been almost-google-free for well over a decade now, but was still using google translate and the google auth app. Silly, really, because there's a great European alternative for translation: deepl. And there's a brilliant open source authenticator app as well: Aegis.
Now that I know about these, finally, I am fully google free.
@fanch @bearstech je l'utilise depuis un peu plus de 2 ans, j'avais un peu fait le tour des possibilités. J'ai complété avec une #onlykey pour déverrouiller le gestionnaire quand je suis sur ordinateur, ce qui me permet d'utiliser un mot de passe fort. Sur le tel, j'utilise la biométrie.
Je me sers aussi de l'#otp pour rassembler tout dans la même application afin de m'éviter des manipulations parfois douloureuses(fibro), ça simplifie aussi la sauvegarde. J'ai utilisé #aegis avant ça, et encore avant #andOTP. Bref, jusqu'à maintenant, je suis comblé.
He hasn't even technically had an image of his new design released yet and I'm already posting inaccurate fanart of it

@LisaKalayji I don't think there's anything creepy about #Aegis...
Actually it does ask to use your camera if you want to scan a QR code to add a new TFA code, but that's expected. You can deny the permission and enter the authentication manually.
