Overview

Two-factor authentication codes are needed for many online accounts, but many authenticator apps lack proper encryption and backups. Aegis Authenticator is a free and open-source 2FA app for Android that generates one-time codes for your online services. Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP standards, so it works with thousands of services. The vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and can be unlocked with a password (scrypt) or biometrics through the Android Keystore. It also offers screen capture prevention, tap-to-reveal codes, and automatic vault backups to a location you choose. Entries can be added by scanning a QR code, entering details manually, or importing from other authenticator apps. Aegis is for Android users who want a secure, self-managed authenticator. It is available on Google Play and F-Droid and is licensed under GPL-3.0.

Icon packs

Aegis supports icon packs to make it easier to assign icons to the entries in your vault. There are no official icon packs, but the community maintains a number of third-party icon packs you may want to check out. To learn how to create your own Aegis-compatible icon pack, see the documentation.

* The icons are automatically generated, so not all of them are as high quality as the ones you'll find in aegis-icons.
