I'm shocked to see how many 5-star reviews are here. It's like everybody rates this software when they only start to use it and then never change the rating when problems arise.

I, too, was a fan of Aegis, until I needed to rename a group, something this basic is just not possible and the issue on GitHub is opened for years now. Same with adding an entry to multiple groups. If you don't see a reason for such a feature, it's clear you don't have many accounts with 2FA enabled.

You could just delete the group and add a new one though.

Even if I wasn't trying to cut down on Google services, it's still better than Google Authenticator. You can organize accounts into groups, hide codes until you tap on one, and protect the app behind its own password. (And it's still free, open-source, and works offline.)

Import from Google Authenticator is surprisingly easy, since Aegis can read batches exported into a single QR code (up to 10 per code), and I was able to move the accounts within the same device by saving a local screenshot for Aegis to read. There are several options for backups too.
