Ente Auth vs Aegis Authenticator Comments
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.

- Ente Auth is Free and Open Source
- Ente Auth is Security-focused

































































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
