I use this after having used Google Authenticator, what made me switch is easy backups and restores, not to the cloud but locally to a file. Also you don't need a Google Account if you wish to transfer your data to a new device.

I don't know about you but does anyone else screenshot (and even print physical copies of, to keep safe) their authenticator barcodes given by websites, in case some day your chosen app dies or your phone(s)/tablets/everything gets lost?
Currently using Authy. Any way to migrate my keys in bulk?
If you have root access, yes.[1] Otherwise no, sadly. One of the reasons I moved off Authy before it got worse. There is a workaround using the Authy Desktop app but I have no idea if it works.[2] [1] https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/pull/107 [2] https://gist.github.com/gboudreau/94bb0c11a6209c82418d01a59d...
As I see, it backs up to the internal storage, so I have to use another app to sync the backup to a cloud of my choice

Done, migrated 40 accounts to Aegis. As I see, it backs up to the internal storage, so I have to use another app to sync the backup to a cloud of my choice

Anyone knows if and how to use this instead of Microsoft authenticator?
Aegis is open source, free and has backup and restore functionality. It also has a great UI and custom icon support.
