Aegis Authenticator – Secure 2FA App for Android

I was happily using andOTP but seems like it has been unmaintained since June - https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP.

I wish F-Droid or Play Store had a feature like GitHub's 'Archived' to inform users.

I'm still using andOTP and I prefer it over Aegis. Are there any reasons to stop using it if it still works? What kind of security vulnerability can affect it? Honest questions.

I'm wondering the same thing. It also looks like while Aegis is actively developed on GitHub, that hasn't materialized into a new release on the Play Store or F-Droid in 7 months.

You're right, it's been a while, but we actually issued a beta release for 2.1 today!

Nice. Will that hit F-Droid at some point? Or do we gotta wait for the non-beta release?

Also a happy andOTP user. Initially I thought you were being impatient because no updates for a few months isn't necessarily bad, but I see that the project itself has been updated to reflect that it is not being maintained by its creator. Thanks for the heads up.

Looking at Aegis, it appears to support importing from andOTP
