About

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure, and open-source mobile application developed in the Netherlands, designed to manage 2-step verification tokens (OTP, HOTP) for online services, emphasizing security and privacy. Available on Android and F-Droid, it serves as a robust alternative to proprietary solutions like Google Authenticator and Authy. The app boasts a comprehensive feature set including encrypted backups, biometric authentication (fingerprint unlock), data export/import, dark mode, offline functionality, and support for multiple accounts with no tracking. It also offers unique capabilities such as importing from Steam, Google Authenticator (via QR codes), and Google Reader, alongside FIDO U2F (2FA) support. Praised by users for its lightweight, customizable, and well-maintained nature, Aegis allows users to organize accounts into groups and hide codes for enhanced security. While it excels as an Android-only experience with local backups, some users seek cross-device sync. Its development is transparently managed via GitHub (github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis), reflecting its commitment to open-source principles.
