2fast VS Aegis

Here's one hosted on github: https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast

I have desktop 2FA TOTP app as a backup. Even if you have a backup, depending on one app/service is crazy. I relied on a password manager, but it's database got corrupted, backups as well.

There is also this, 2fast (https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast/). Relatively newer, options are minimal, but for 2FAs, it did the trick.

You can use the desktop app like https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast

there is 2fa app for that https://github.com/2fast-team/2fast/ (Windows) https://github.com/flathub/com.belmoussaoui.Authenticator or Bitwarden. why bother with emulator?

I prefer a simple offline Authenticator 2fast, backed up by MSA.

For 1Password I use a Yubikey, but for 2FA in general, I have a backup phone running Aegis[1].

Bottom line is, why in the world would you use a mysterious closed source app when there are better options out there? 2FAS is one of the better ones. Aegis Authenticator is another good choice for Android devices.

You can enable 2fa with amazon I suggest you do that with a 2fa app like aegis, that will greatly increase the security of your account and require the 2fa code to login to your account.

Aegis Authenticator has been a lifesaver for me: https://getaegis.app/

I use Aegis[1] on mobile and OTPClient[2] on my computer, both are regularly backed up on change.

I do not use the TOTP feature in my password manager (though I can split it to new DB in keepassXC) as feel it will defeat the purpose of 2FA.
