Fantastic, wish they prioritised stuff like this instead of AI but at least it's here now. Now please make a dedicated contacts app so I can stop using Google contacts too!

BitWarden is F(antastic)OSS.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Aegis ia even better

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How? BitWarden has great 2FA, but is also a password manager with good integrations, group sharing, etc. Plus when you log in with it, it auto-copies the 2fa to clipboard.

Assuming you've used both, so what does Aegis bring to the table? Wondering if I should try it.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago

For the same reason you usually shouldnt store 2FA in the passwordmanager.
Besides that Aegis has some features like automated (encrypted) backups when accounts are removed/added.
Also can use multiple different 2FA protocols (even Steam when your phone has root).

2fa only for paying customers, no? I mean, I pay because it's dirt cheap for tge convenience they offer but still no free 2fa

[–] SpaceCadet 9 points 6 days ago

Bitwarden authenticator is free for non-paying customers too.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

2fa is free

Than this is misleading1000008387

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 3 days ago

Maybe a bit. They say "advanced" and specify 2FA via hardware keys.

Been using Aegis on android and managing my own backups but maybe switch or use for things I care less for just for simplicity

This is a more welcome addition than that stupid AI chatbot slop machine.

But I would still like to see them release Proton Drive for Linux already.

[–] kadup@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I wouldn't mind not having a native Linux drive client if they didn't block rsync, which used to work, and now does not. What a stupid decision.
