Last year Google Authenticator started syncing secrets to the cloud[0] which means that those secrets can now be accessed in new ways outside of the user's control[1], which resulted in a huge breach at a startup called Retool[2].

From then on I started moving my company's team and contractors (as well as family and friends) off of Google Auth and onto Aegis. The app is clean, easy to use, open source, has all the options we could dream off. (and its privacy policy isn't tens-of-pages-long like some other apps, where privacy seemed to be part of the marketing strategy but not the product itself)

I've been a very happy user.
