Aegis Authenticator.

By Beem Development

Aegis Authenticator is Beem Development's free and open-source Android app for HOTP and TOTP codes. The vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and can be unlocked with a password or biometrics. Entries can be scanned from a QR code, typed in, or imported from other authenticator apps. The readme points to Google Play and F-Droid, and it licenses the project under GPL-3.0.

The F7 Insight

The useful part of Aegis is the backup, not the six-digit code. An encrypted vault you can export is a different promise from codes that exist only on one phone.
