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!

Authy locks you in and intentionally makes it very hard to export keys. I made the mistake of using it once years ago and it was annoying to get out of it.

If you haven't already you can delete your Authy account. You have to contact support and it takes a few days to complete but at least then you know you're not leaving anything behind.
