MODERATORS
The main point is that Authy is a company that hosts your data on their cloud and you can't know what they do with it. Aegis is local, but has the ability to create scheduled backups, which then you can sync to your own server or just copy it in different locations for safety.
2FA not being 100% local and offline kinda defeats the point for me. I want potential attackers to need physical access to my device if they intend to get into my accounts.
