Aegis Authenticator – Manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services

[App] Aegis Authenticator

Aegis AuthenticatorAegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.

  Encryption
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.

Fingerprint unlock
Entering your password each time you need access to a one-time password can be cumbersome. Fortunately, you can also enable fingerprint unlock if your device has a fingerprint scanner.

Compatibility
Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms. These two algorithms are industry-standard and widely supported, making Aegis compatible with thousands of services. Some examples are: Google, GitHub, Dropbox, Facebook and Instagram.

It is also compatible with Google Authenticator. Any website that shows a QR code for Google Authenticator also works with Aegis.

Groups
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.

Backups
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.

Open source and license
Aegis Authenticator is open source (licensed under GPL v3) and the source code can be found here: github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis

Aegis Authenticator user reviews :

Excellent replacement for proprietary apps. Love the security features and also its open source. Ditched Authy. Don’t think will search for new 2fa apps jn near future. Hat’s off to the developers for their hard work and making it open source.

Wonderful new 2FA app! I’ve been looking for one with password security and the ability to use the phone’s fingerprint sensor to open . It seems logical that you would not want to allow 2FA codes to be obtained if the phone was not in your hands … other apps I’ve tried do not provide this additional level of security. I have ONE quibble though … the app does not automatically “Log Out” or lock itself. I have to do this manually. Please include this as a feature … perhaps an auto time-out that can be set? Not having the app lock itself seems to defeat the purpose of having the lock in the first place! Other than that, kudos to the developers! And notwithstanding this shortcoming … which I’m SURE you will address … 5-stars to you! Don’t make me come back and change it! :) :)

  • Thanks for the feedback! The feature you’re describing is planned to be included in a future release. It’s definitely something we’d like to have in the app as well. We’re tracking the progress of this feature on GitHub, in case you’d like to follow along: github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/issues/7.
The app is the new player on 2fa market. Love that it’s open source and comes with more secure encryption out of box than competitors. Also ability to import tokens from most common 2fa apps is a very nice feature. Devs are super active and responsive to the feedback.
