I can suffer a little smugness if it brings in to the fold atleast one dude who’s never heard of LineageOS

I’ve been considering putting graphene on my pixel for a month or so now, I’m just in tech and have a shit load of MFA entries in multiple apps that don’t sync anywhere, and I don’t have the energy to redo all that shit at work when I barely have enough time to do my normal shit…
I used to live rooting and throwing custom rooms on my phone, but I’ve been out of that for a decade and don’t have a usable spare device to test/use as a backup.

I understand, I was in exactly the same position. Then my battery swelled and wouldn’t hold a charge at all, so I couldn’t restore anything anyway, and my last backup was inaccessible (I know I know, test your backups, but like I started this post with I’m in the same boat of all work and no time for me).
Losing everything was remarkably freeing. Just switch all your 2FA to Aegis as has been suggested, and save anything you want to back up over the wire, then take the plunge. You won’t regret the switch 😊

how do you make sure that you always have the latest aegis backup somewhere else? did you automate uploading it somewhere?

You can’t export your MFA? Aegis for example allows this.

Aegis is amazing for standard TOTP (6 digit code that changes every 30 minutes), but there are also proprietary OTP that require own apps and usually do not support export and would require to set it up from 0. Microsoft for example have push notifications that I love and prefer over TOTP, but for recovery purposes I have TOTP added in Aegis as well so if I ever loose MS Authenticator data, I will not be locked out.
