Hey y'all!

I've been using Authy for some time now (switched from Google Authenticator) but an increasing amount of people is suggesting Aegis over Authy in some posts here at Lemmy and that got me curious.

Was wondering what would be the main selling points for one to use Aegis instead of Authy, can somebody help out?

Thanks in advance!

I am using it as my password manager, and I understand it puts all my eggs in the Bitwarden basket. But I don't think it defeats the purpose of 2FA. For example, someone getting my Google password doesn't mean they have my TOTP needed to get into my Google account, or any other account with 2FA.
