Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your
2-step verification tokens for your online services.
<b>Encryption</b>
All of your one-time passwords are stored in a vault. If you choose
to set a password, which is highly recommended, the vault will be encrypted
using AES-256. If someone with malicious intent gets a hold of the vault file,
it’s impossible for them to retrieve the contents without knowing the password.
<b>Biometric unlock</b>
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.

<b>Encryption and biometric unlock</b>
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, it’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).
<b>Groups</b>
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.
<b>Organization</b>
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.
<b>Backups</b>
To make sure you will never lose access to your online accounts Aegis
Authenticator supports exporting your vault which you can import onto a new
device. Aegis Authenticator also allows you to import AndOTP and FreeOTP
databases so switching to Aegis is made easier for you.
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.
<b>Making the switch</b>
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).
