Aegis is a mobile application that provides two-factor authentication for online accounts. It supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms, which are widely used in the industry, making it compatible with thousands of services. It can also be used with any web service that supports Google Authenticator.
All one-time passwords are stored in a secure vault, which can be encrypted with a strong password for added security. The app also offers biometric unlock options for devices with fingerprint or face recognition capabilities, making it easier to access the passwords without having to enter the password every time.
To help users manage their growing number of entries in the vault, Aegis offers various organization options such as custom icons, search by account or service name, and grouping entries into categories. It also allows for automatic backups to be created and stored in a chosen location, including cloud storage.
Aegis makes it easy for users to switch from other authenticator apps by offering the ability to import entries from popular apps such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Steam. It also has a user-friendly interface with multiple themes to choose from.
The app is free and open source, with a secure and encrypted platform. It also offers features such as screen capture prevention and tap to reveal for added security. Aegis is licensed under GPLv3 and its source code is available on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.
