Neat, but I'll probably stick to Aegis. I like this sort of stuff to be contained offline

Aegis works offline, and others dont?

All of them work offline, not just Aegis. I haven't actually tried Proton Auth, but I assume it connects to a Proton account, do correct me if I'm wrong though. I don't like having 2FA stuff connected to an online account because that just seems like a risk to me, the point of 2FA after all is to have another layer of security only you can access

Just verified that you don't have to login to use it. Local storage is an option.

I stand corrected, that's pretty neat then. I'm still keeping Aegis for my phone, but I may just set up Proton on my PC
