    Leaving a negative comment, not because Aegis is bad, but because it's still not a good competitor/alternative to everything Authy offers in terms of convenience (iOS app, and desktop/Windows app). With these two, Aegis would NO DOUBT be the best out there.

    I chose it because it is private, open, simpler and versatile, in my opinion

    Ente is miles better than most 2fa services atm and is completely open source and ad free

    Not to mention it now has proper cross device support with its own desktop application, following authys own 2fa being discontinued

    Really happy with this dev team imo the best 2fa service you can get atm

    FOSS alternative to Authy with mobile and website token sync. Can also import/export keys. Only question is how long Ente will keep the service free.

    Authy is much better than Google Authenticator. Although local 2FA is more secure in general the security of the app itself is horrible. No cloud sync, only way to transfer 2FA is with the two devices next to each other and QR codes which is better than other solutions but much worse than Authy.

    You really must not use Google Authenticator. The security on this app is awful. It requires no authentication to access beyond the phone login, which places is apart from every 2FA app on this list - and not in a good way. Moreover, it has no backup or restore function.

    I have no idea why Google has left this in the dark ages, only that they have.

    It is one of the best 2FA alternatives that can be used on a PC. Authy is doing this on mobile because it does not have mobile support. On the PC, the Authenticator is the best option. Cloud support, encrypted backup, and a clipboard have features such as copying. There is also an automatic filling option for 2FA fields, but in some cases, it fills information on other fields.
