Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app

Aegis doesn’t run on your desktop using the same key, it’s just a key stored there, right?

No, I use a different authenticator app (called Authenticator in the Flatpak store), but it does use the same keys. So I import the keys from an Aegis dump so I can generate exactly the same keys on my desktop app that I do on my phone.
TOTP is a really simple system, as long as I have access to the secret key and a reliable time source, I can generate the exact same tokens as any TOTP app would.
