    ditch Aegis altogether if they start making stupid choices.

    do you mean you can migrate directly from aegis to another app? for me it’s a flaw, that way your OTPs are less secure, Authy distinctly states it has no such feature because of security, many other apps don’t have export feature because of that yet Aegis developers boast about it

    what works for others doesn’t have to work for you, they suggest aegis because its open source and authy is not, on the other hand authy is multi-platoform and has builtin synchronization between devices, so there’s the thing: you can rely on third party for backup in authy or back it up manually but where? some third party again? for me personally moving to aegis just because it’s open source is a bit of a PITA, and minus being open-source, aegis is inferior IMO, no multi-platform sync, you don’t have to take out your distraction device to input an OTP, there’s a standalone PC app or browser addons
