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!
Err… how do I get it off my phone tho?
A marker and steady hands.

Not sure if you’re joking but thankfully you can’t take a screenshot of Google Auth.
And emailing it would completely defeat the purpose of 2FA
Oh goodness, why didn’t I think of emailing it to myself. 🤣 Thank you for the tip, I’ll do that in the morning after I wake up.
The mental image of me looking at a qr code on my phone screen, and only then wondering how I would catch that on the phone’s camera did make me laugh.
😂
What I did was take a screenshot and then scan the photo via Aegis
