    Ente is better because it does what Aegis but more. Ente even has its own desktop app, while aegis relies on google and android services to backup online

    Ente requires log-in, collects more metadata than other open source authenticators, and is made in an anti-privacy country. Having a desktop app makes it less secure.

    I'd choose Ente Auth over Aegis because of its desktop app. The user has the chance to put a few non-critical authcodes on the desktop. The desktop app can be used without any account and its still encrypted and locked with a password. Its safer than putting all eggs in one basket like using Bitwarden password manager (not the Bitwarden Authenticator) to store the 2fa codes and its still locally and not synced. But you still can choose to sync to the standard service.

    Have been using Stratum auth for many years, since back when it was known as Authenticator Pro. It does everything I need from a 2FA application, the gui is clean and intuitive, the various options/choices available to customize things are reasonable. It works very well. No lock-in on how/where to upload your encrypted credentials for backup. Free. Only limitation for end-users is that it's strictly android. Not a problem for me.
