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!

2FA not being 100% local and offline kinda defeats the point for me. I want potential attackers to need physical access to my device if they intend to get into my accounts.
