I guess it's kinda nice. They already had this in Proton Pass, but I guess not all accounts have access to that as a bundle maybe?

Proton Pass is a password manager designed to securely generate and store strong passwords, and protect your digital identity with features like email alises and dark web monitoring. It also includes an integrated authenticator that can store and autofill 2FA codes - but not the ones used to log in to your Proton account. Proton Authenticator is a standalone 2FA app that allows users to enable 2FA protection for their Proton account, it also allows users to store their 2FA codes separate from their passwords if they wish to do so.
Seems like basically an ad platform/gateway to Pass.
fuck yeah, goodbye authy
Why? What’s wrong with Authy? I use it, Proton and Bitwarden. I could consolidate everything into Proton, but I’m concerned about having everything with one vendor.
Not op, but for me the main problem with Authy is that it is owned by an American company.
It's not the worst offender, but any American company is subject to the whims of the current administration. As an example, we're currently seeing how American sanctions lock people out of their Microsoft accounts at the International Court.
I've slowly been moving over my 2FA codes to Aegis.

That’s amazing
Netflix doesn’t have 2FA
I currently have all of my 2FA codes in Pass except for my Proton account itself, which I have in Aegis, backing up to my home server.
It looks like you can easily export from Aegis to Proton Authenticator and you can use PA without a Proton account, which I think I might do. I don't want to use my PA app with my Proton account to hold my Proton account 2FA code. I'll end up locked out of the house with the keys inside.
Wow an OTP app.
Maybe a QR creation app is next?
