What authenticator app do you use? How do you backup? Any open source self hosted options?

    i use aegis, it is open source and does not have internet access. you can export and import your secret codes and it has an automatic local backup. it automatically creates a backup of the vault to external storage when changes are made. to backup my vault i use rclone with encryption to backup it to google drive. i also made a termux shortcut script that makes a copy of my vault to sd card.

      +1 for aegis. Keep my secret codes in an encrypted backup file just in case

      Aegis is what I use too. I feel more comfortable with local backups which is why I went for it over those with cloud sync integration.

      I switched to aegis a while ago, it’s been one of the best apps I’ve used for authentication. I was using Authelia for along time before that but my backup stopped working unbeknownst to me. I found out while doing a regular backup/restore test it had borked itself.
