This becomes a problem if you have a dozen accounts or so.

You have to either scroll down the list, or use the search button to find a specific account. The only thing I don't like about Aegis is the way it lists the accounts, there is no grid view (like in Authy). You should enable screen lock or biometric unlock as an extra measure of security, nobody will be able to access the app without your fingerprint or FaceID. You can use this method to have Aegis on multiple Android devices. Install Aegis on the new mobile, choose the import option from the app's settings, select the backup file and enter the encryption password, and it will import the tokens. The backups are encrypted with a password of your choice, so it's quite safe to use this method as there are 2 layers of security (your Google password + Aegis password), three, if you have 2FA enabled on your Google drive, and should have.īacking up the tokens is important, so you won't be locked out of your accounts when migrating to a new phone. The backups are saved locally, and can optionally be synced to your Google Drive. Aegis can backup your authentication tokens, thus saving you the need to disable and re-enable 2Fa on each account if you're moving between phones. It goes beyond simply saving the 2FA profiles. Best authenticator apps for Android and iOS Aegis AuthenticatorĪegis has a pleasant interface which is minimal, and easy to use (no account or phone number required). The app will save the account's information and display the 2-step verification codes, that you can use to secure your account. All you need to do to use an authenticator app, is to visit the settings page of the account that you want to protect, and point your phone's camera at the QR Code displayed on the screen. This is why apps that support Time-based One Time Passwords (TOTPs) are better, they don't require a network connection, which means they work offline. Email codes have the same issue, you can't use them without an internet connection, and they are sent via plain text. Also, SMS-based codes require you to have a working cellular connection, which can be a problem if your service provider is suffering a network outage, or if you can't find a signal, i.e. You should know that SMS-based two factor authentication (2FA) is not safe, they are prone to SIM-swap attacks and can be captured by hackers. Why you should use TOTP apps, and not SMS-based 2FA
