Kind of sucks that the passphrase to open Aegis is also the passphrase that encrypts your backup. I have to access my 2FA app frequently, so I had to set the passphrase to 3 characters. Luckily the backup is only saved on the devices I own.
- iFreilicht 6y agoThat's what the biometric access is for. Choose a strong password, use fingerprint or face-reader for quick access.
- justaj 6y agoI don't know. I'm not comfortable giving any software access to the fingerprint sensor (I've also taped it off), and definitely not as means of authentication.
- iFreilicht 6y agoSeems much more secure than having a three-letter passphrase, but fair enough. You can still encrypt the backup with an additional layer when you back it up. I use the E2EE in Nextcloud for folders with sensitive info, that works quite seamlessly.
