Alternatives to Aegis Authenticator
Open source Android TOTP with encrypted backups
Aegis Authenticator ranks #4 of 10 in Authenticator apps, with an Alt Score of 60. It is licensed under GPL-3.0, free and available on Android. 9 of 9 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Android users who want a free, open-source 2FA app instead of Google Authenticator or Authy, particularly those who prioritize privacy, data ownership, and control over their credentials.
Aegis stores TOTP and HOTP tokens in an encrypted vault that unlocks with a password or biometrics. It supports encrypted backups and exports you control, importing tokens from other authenticator apps, and organizing accounts with groups, icons, and search. The app requests minimal permissions and works fully offline.
Unlock the vault, then add accounts by scanning a QR code or importing from another authenticator app. Aegis generates time- or counter-based codes automatically, and you can periodically export an encrypted backup to keep your tokens safe across devices.
