    Anybody have a good reason to not use Authy? I’ve seen Aegis mentioned quite a bit but nobody supporting/dunking on Authy. I thought they were one of the more popular choices.

        That makes sense. Thanks! I don’t use graphene but I do use authy and wondered if I should be reconsidering my choices 😅

      Authy is closed source and owned by Twilio, a publicly-traded company.

      Aegis is FOSS.

      Do what you will with this info.

        Seems like Authy doesn’t have a feature to export to another app. Guess you re-enable 2fa on each account to move to something like aegis.

          That’s exactly what I did. It was a pain because I have so many 2FA-enabled accounts, but it was absolutely worth it.

            Yeah I wish I knew, I was using Authy because as far as I knew it was that Google or Microsoft.
