If your phone has biometrics, you can set that up, much quicker than typing password each time.

You can use biometrics instead of a password. Also, Google Authenticator not having a password requirement is a massive security risk to me. A 2FA app, just like a password manager should ABSOLUTELY be protected with passwords/biometrics.

You can disable encryption and use Aegis without a password, just like Google authenticator.

I use a self-hosted bitwarden, it keeps both my passwords and generates TOTP authentication codes

Btw OP, you can export from Google Auth. and it will give you a big QR code that you can just snap with Aegis, in case you didn't know already.

No need to transfer one-by-one.

You just need to get the code off your phone first.

Everyone has already mentioned the biometrics, but I think even without that you still should have to suck it up if you want to improve your security.

Also, I think it's worth the hassle of changing to Aegis since you can make backups of your vault pretty easily, something which Google authenticator doesn't provide.
The only option in that app is cloud sync which IIRC isn't encrypted in any way, so your keys are being sent to you-don't-no-where via you-don't-know-how in plain text.
Aegis gives you the option to sync your vault with an encrypted file which you can then import into other Aegis install (I don't know if it has the option to sync an unencrypted version).

I remember losing Google Authenticator data when I had to format my phone. This was years back and didn't have too many accounts setup. With Aegis I have an offline encrypted backup of all my 2FA codes so this is no longer a possibility. Before Aegis I was tempted to use Authy before I had to wait 24hrs to gain my access back after I reset my phone.

2FA on Android has always sucked (lazily created; app data CANNOT constitute and/or subsitute device trust). I wish I had got on to Aegis earlier.

Apparently you can use biometrics instead of a password each time you require access. Not sure if that still seems like a bother or not, I personally do not mind.

After you switch, don't forget to install extra icons

or

You can also check out 2FAS, which recently got open-sourced. It comes with browser plugins to autofill 2FA pushed from the phone on request. Makes it a lot more convenient if you need another reason to switch.

I use aegis as the otp for bitwarden and keepassxc. Currently trying to migrate bitwarden and just use keepassxc while syncing the db to my nextcloud and backup onedrive.

Ente's auth app is a good option too.
