Comment on What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?

No, I’m not interested in a password manager, thank you
Ok. But since you already use a password manager (right?), why not use its built-in TOTP management (I use KeepassXC on desktop and KeepassDX on Android). Why do you need yet-another-separate app?
If I really had to, I’d recommend Aegis.
But I’ll still recommend using a password manager.

To keep your two factor codes and passwords separate in the event that your password manager is breached.
Also if you need a 2FA code to log into your password manager, how are you going to get it if its in the password manager that you can’t log into without the 2FA code inside it?

Fair enough.
I decided against web/network-based password managers for my personal needs since the additional attack surface is a concern. A Keepass database file synced across machines strikes a good balance for me (requires password + keyfile to open). It’s also simple to backup and protect.
So yeah, for you use case, I’d recommend Aegis Authenticator.
