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!

For me the choice is really easy: Aegis works, Authy crashes when it opens the camera ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've been using Aegis for a while now and it never gave me issues. I set up automatic backups to a folder which is synchronized with my home server with syncthing so there's no risk of losing access to anything.
