Yes, it doesn’t. Or at least they didn’t when I started using Aegis for it, I had to import the key from the steam app, because they didn’t show any QR codes or such. Not sure if it has changed since then, though.
I’d been a happy user of andOTP for many years, unaware until now that it had been abandoned and that I therefore needed ro replace it. I looked through the recommendations posted here and came to the conclusion that Aegis indeed was the best recommendation.
Migrating from andOTP to Aegis by exporting an encrypted backup file from andOTP to the local filesystem and importing it in Aegis worked flawlessly.
One thing that I really liked in andOTP that Aegis doesn’t have was the PGP export, it was just very nice to get encrypted backup files that I could decrypt directly using standard software that I already have and know how to use, entirely independent from any particular app. Aegis instead provides the decrypt.py script to decode and decrypt its own encrypted backup file format and while I’ve tested and verified that this works fine, simply using standard PGP was nicer.
But that’s a minor detail. All in all, Aegis seems to do everything I need, and does it well.
Aegis authenticator. Beats all proprietary apps I’ve tried so far
I’m leaving links here in case anyone needs them
It supports importing data from various 2FA apps and even allows you to generate Steamguard codes.
Steamguard? Since when? That’s awesome!
I honestly don’t know. I set it up with steamguard-cli few months ago and it’s working like a charm.
Nothing to worry about when doing that? I’d love to have Valve support 3rd party 2FA apps officially, but oh well
It’s been there for quite a few years, I think
But Steam itself doesn’t officially support doing that?

Yep, it works perfectly
Bitwarden has it too, but eggs in one basket etc.
Also, for bitwarden it’s either a paid feature or you have to self host it
One of those apps that just does its job, does it well and I never have to worry about it
Thank you!

This is the best option. Love the app. But always remember to keep a backup of your tokens.
There is also ente.io authenticator app. It is available on fdroid. I think it supoorts cloud synchronisation as well.
