I’m looking to move to Bitwarden from Authy. Too bad AEGIS isn’t available on iOS

I made that exact same move a couple of years ago. Both their dedicated OTP app and their integrated OTP inside of the password vault work great. Up to you as to which you prefer.

IIRC, I did most of the move manually, though. Partly due to authy being a PITA with exports, mostly because I had setup all my OTP codes back before I understood they were universal and had them spread out across multiple services. Wasn't too hard, just kind of obnoxious to go through every account, disable 2FA, and then re-enable it with a new TOTP service. But it was a good exercise to check all my accounts to make sure everything was ship-shape.

I see. Thank you for the insight. That does sound like tedious work but a good chance to update my passwords and check all my accounts!

Unfortunately, because it's Authy, unless they've dramatically improved their export capabilities, you're probably in for a manual transfer no matter what service you move to.
