Well, this is just like the CIA or whatever attending Defcon. Google undoubtedly has some ulterior motive, whether it’s to poach the best and brightest or to dilute the messaging, etc.


Especially if you self-host Vaultwarden

Out of interest, if you self-host, do you still have to pay for the “premium” BW features like TOTP-in-app?

I was on standard BW for less than a month before moving everything to KeePassXC to have free TOTP.


Side question because I’m migrating to Proton now.
Free account.

I found the tasks to double storage for Proton Mail and Proton Drive—am I missing any other freebies like this?


You can also check out 2FAS, which recently got open-sourced.

I happened to be comparing this and Aegis so I’ll add the biggest differences I noticed. Maybe it helps someone:

  • Aegis is Android only, 2FAS is iOS and Android and they have a browser plugin.
  • The browser plugin still needs you to approve via your phone/device.
  • 2FAS has automated Google Drive backups. You can manually export if you backup via, e.g., Syncthing.
  • Aegis has automated “external storage” (e.g., a folder on your phone) and “Android Device” backups—the latter are stored on Google Drive too, but, as far as I understand are used via a device restore (may not be as easy to drop these in as the other backup methods).
  • 2FAS lets you secure with a 4-digit PIN and biometrics. Aegis let’s you use a full-blown password and biometrics.

Err… how do I get it off my phone tho?

There are several ways! First, take a screenshot (power + vol. ~~up~~ down is the shortcut for me, not sure if this is an Android default).

Then email it to yourself, or plug in your phone with UTP to a computer and move it out of the picture folder, or print from your phone to a wifi-enabled printer, or use something like Google Keep and sync it to your computer, etc.


Btw OP, you can export from Google Auth. and it will give you a big QR code that you can just snap with Aegis, in case you didn’t know already.

No need to transfer one-by-one.

You just need to get the code off your phone first.
