Hey y’all!
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!
I’d guess that it doesn’t make a huge difference in terms of security.
Surely both apps encrypt the seeds they store, and surely you can’t export seeds from Aegis before decrypting them (pin, password or biometric). If someone has your credentials (or encryption keys) to both these apps, and especially if they have physical access to your phone too, there will be ways of accessing the seeds whether there’s an export function in the app or not.
