New app review on my website!

Aegis Authenticator
★★★★★

A well-designed 2FA app for Android that lets you organize accounts into groups, can use a password or fingerprint to add another layer of security to your codes, and can easily import from several apps including Google Authenticator.

So #Microsoft #Authenticator could have be used as #passwordManager, but now they inform that they will delete all passwords in August?
Finnish traditionally are on vacation for July. So when people get back to work in August, they won’t remember their AD passwords and now MS in their infinite wisdom decided that you don’t need access to your passwords any more.

Microsoft Starts Deleting Your Passwords In 6 Weeks

Microsoft warns that passwords saved in its Authenticator app “will no longer be accessible and any generated passwords not saved will be deleted.” You can move these to Edge, but instead you should take this as a prompt to replace passwords with passkeys on all accounts where they’re available.

One of the most important functions on my computer is the GNOME #Authenticator app. Without it I cannot even access many of the services I use daily. I need to reinstall my #NixOS machine to move to #flakes and clean up some messy command-line installs. Is there a way to restore the authenticator app after reinstall so it works for all services, without having to revisit each site and re-enroll the #2FA manually? Can this be achieved via a flake that manages #secrets? #authenticatorapp
