    Please dont use it for now! It doesnt work at all!

    I’m not sure of the answer, I just tried to save the 2FA code using Aegis. To be precise:

    • Samsung Galaxy S5 (good vintage)
    • Android 6.0.1, patched 1 Apr 2017
    • Aegis 2.1.3 (Play Store)

    By importing the code and specifying the algorithm requested by Lemmy: SHA256, the import went correctly and I can access the account with the 2FA code.

    But if it works I can recommend “ente authentication” its open source and works great

    Agree with you, in the post I mentioned others precisely because, fortunately, there’re many alternatives to manage 2FA suits. Both Aegis and FreeOTP are open source and usually, the ones I hear most recommended. Obviously, your choice is also completely correct, as long as the project is open source and above all maintained it can certainly be software to be evaluated.

    And for security reasons I would NOT recommend the seeds and/or QR codes as it adds a breaking point

    Still totally agree, as I wrote in “bold” in the post, it’s not advisable. However, we must bear in mind that each user has his own needs and therefore may prefer, for certain credentials, greater usability rather than greater security. We could extend this speech indefinitely, you don’t imagine on all the other social networks, blogs, sites, etc. where users insult each other about how to manage 2FA codes.

    I absolutely want to avoid this, I don’t want another social network where I can dedicate passion and then only see users getting pissed off with each other.

    As said, I agree with you, but in the end, the choice depends exclusively on the user and his needs.

    PS: sorry if my tone may seem mean but it’s not at all, indeed I love to see that the community grows and that there are people like you and others who interact with each other! ❤️
