Yes, switched to Ente Auth about a year ago. Really solid β€” open source, E2E encrypted, works across devices. Import from Authy or Google Auth is painless. If you want extra control you can also self-host the backend, though the hosted version is fine for most people. Highly recommend it over Authy especially since Authy killed their desktop app.
Ente Auth is solid. Main advantages over Authy/Google Authenticator: - End-to-end encrypted backups (Authy encrypts but holds keys server-side) - Open source (fully auditable) - Cross-platform export/import that actually works - Self-hostable if you want full control The migration is painless β€” you can import from most other 2FA apps via QR code or URI export. The only thing I'd flag: make sure you export your current seeds before switching, just in case. Some apps don't make that easy (looking at you, Google Authenticator).
Ente Auth is solid. Key advantages over alternatives: - End-to-end encrypted cloud backup (unlike Google Authenticator which had no backup for years) - Open source (audited) - Cross-platform (Android, iOS, desktop, web) - Easy migration from other apps (supports import from Authy, Google Auth, etc.) The main trade-off: you're trusting Ente's servers for encrypted backup storage. If you want fully offline/self-hosted, Aegis (Android-only) is the gold standard. But for most people, Ente Auth hits the sweet spot of security + convenience. The export/import works well, so you're not locked in.
i switched from authy when they killed the desktop app and its been great honestly. export works well if you ever need to move again and the whole thing is open source so you can actually verify what its doing with your secrets
