Hello! I’m in the process of slowly de-googling my life and taking my privacy more seriously.
I currently use Google Authenticator for 2fa at the moment.
I am currently dreading swapping those to Aegis, which requires a password every time I want to use it (that’s very inconvenient, to be honest) while with Google’s I can just open the app and get the necessary code right away; no password required.
Should I just stop being lazy, suck it up, and make the switch? I know I’m being a bit of a baby.
Edit: Okay, apparently I can use my fingerprint scanner instead, which is a LOT better, so I’ll stop being a lazy shit and do the swap tomorrow. Cheers!
Final Edit: I made the switch to Aegis. Already made a backup, and I have Biometrics setup. Ty everyone!
You can disable encryption and use Aegis without a password, just like Google authenticator.
If your phone has biometrics, you can set that up, much quicker than typing password each time.
I use a self-hosted bitwarden, it keeps both my passwords and generates TOTP authentication codes
This is the only way, saving tons of credentials centralised isn’t the way to go, if you’re able to do it yourself and mantain it.
Not everybody should selfhost
instructions unclear, everyone should be @selfhosted
