I've been using Authy for some time now (switched from Google Authenticator) but an increasing amount of people is suggesting Aegis over Authy in some posts here at Lemmy and that got me curious.

Was wondering what would be the main selling points for one to use Aegis instead of Authy, can somebody help out?

Thanks in advance!

Aegis may import and export seed with easy. I switch from Authy to Aegis just for this. It also have automatic backups. Authy only selling point was the sync function and maybe the bad desktop app. Now I had a double backup, the native function, and a synced keepassxc file with all the Aegis OTP exported for desktop use. KeepassXC support OTP export with QR so I can create there and export to Aegis if I want. Best solution ever.
