We haven't had a must-have app thread in quite a while, and since mobile ecosystem moves so fast, thought it might be a good idea to see what people are using these days and consider their must have apps.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Have you tried Aegis? I have settled on that for my 2FA needs.

How do you sync them or keep regular backup? I shifted to ente auth after loosing some totp.

Take a backup once every 6 months or so, and have it on my computer. Along with my backup of password manager's file.

As a last resort, I just remember my email account's password and keep it's backup codes with me, everything else can be reset as long as I can log into my email account.

Not yet. Any specific benefits come to mind?

Don't even remember why I chose it, but remember everyone being very happy about it. Here's the info from it's FAQ:

Compared to other 2FA apps, we think Aegis stands out in terms of its simplicity and security. Most popular apps like Google Authenticator and FreeOTP don't bother with additional security measures. They allow access to your tokens right after opening the app. Aegis, on the other hand, encrypts all of your tokens at rest and requires a password or the touch of a finger to decrypt them.

Another important feature is the ability to export your tokens and import them into another device. Google Authenticator doesn't have this, which has not only annoyed users for years, but has also resulted in loss of access to lots of accounts.
