Aegis vs Authy (lemmy.ml)

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!

Can someone give me a reason why I might want to move to Aegis from andOTP?

I had no idea! It's still works, but yeah, that's a very good reason to switch!

I too was still using andOTP until some days ago, unaware that it had been abandoned, until I started reading about OTP apps here and then switched to Aegis: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/2137482

FFS, thanks I had no idea.

I moved because it seems abandoned and because the QR code it generates can't be used from an iPhone, the ones that creates Aegis works everywhere. And Aegis seems more...nice, IMHO.
