Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Aegis Authenticator is highly praised for its open-source nature, security features, user-friendly interface, and continuous development. Many users appreciate its encrypted backup and export options, making it a stronger alternative to Authy and Google Authenticator. Despite the overwhelming positive feedback, a few users noted missing functionalities like group renaming and multiple group entries, and some express a desire for a desktop version. Overall, it remains a preferred choice for many seeking a reliable 2FA solution.

I'm shocked to see how many 5-star reviews are here. It's like everybody rates this software when they only start to use it and then never change the rating when problems arise.

I, too, was a fan of Aegis, until I needed to rename a group, something this basic is just not possible and the issue on GitHub is opened for years now. Same with adding an entry to multiple groups. If you don't see a reason for such a feature, it's clear you don't have many accounts with 2FA enabled.

You could just delete the group and add a new one though.

At first I was using FreeOTP, but as I noticed their development had slowed down, I looked into what else was available in the open-source world. Aegis came up quite often. I must admit I’m not entirely sure if there’s a difference between the two in terms of how they generate OTPs, but I liked the fact that it uses a password. One notable difference, which is a slight drawback for me, is that on FreeOTP, when I click on a service’s 2FA code, it’s copied straight to the clipboard. Whereas here, with the option to copy to the clipboard, I have to double-click (which reveals the OTP on the first click and then hides it on the second).

Aegis Authenticator is one of my favorite 2FA apps because it gives me full control over my authentication codes. I really like that everything can be encrypted, backed up, and exported without locking me into a specific ecosystem. The interface is clean, customizable, and easy to navigate, making everyday use pleasant. If you're looking for a secure, open-source alternative to Google Authenticator or Authy, I think Aegis is definitely worth considering

The ultimate F-Droid setup (300+ Apps)

WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily. CATEGORIES : F-Droid clients Utilities Social & Communication / 8 subcategories Health / 7 subcategories Customization / 3 subcategories Gaming / 3 subcategories Internet / 6 subcategories Productivity / 15 subcategories Privacy / 5 subcategories Security / 4 subcategories Media apps / 10 subcategories If you care about privacy check : Privacy focused OS for everyone My privacy and user friendly setup For more FOSS Android apps check : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android DISCLAIMERS : Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list ! English is not my mother tongue ^^'

Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android (nice & modern UI/UX)

UI = User Interface UX = User eXperience Most open source apps offer out-dated or classic material design UI. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your android device ! Apps are listed in alphabetical order ! Also look at : The ultimate F-Droid setup for more open source android apps. and Beautiful Open Source Apps for iOS for your iOS device DISCLAIMERS Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app. While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. I again encourage you to do your own research about them and read their Privacy Policies. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !

A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)

Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device. Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%) I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time). FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software
