Overview

Aegis Authenticator

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source 2FA app for Android. It aims to provide a secure authenticator for your online services, while also including some features missing in existing authenticator apps, like proper encryption and backups. Aegis supports HOTP and TOTP, making it compatible with thousands of services.

The security design of the app and the vault format is described in detail in this document.

Icon packs

Aegis supports icon packs to make it easier to assign icons to the entries in your vault. There are no official icon packs, but the community maintains a number of third-party icon packs you may want to check out. To learn how to create your own Aegis-compatible icon pack, see the documenation.

aegis-icons

Unofficial monochrome-styled 2FA icons.
aegis-simple-icons

This project periodically generates an icon pack for Aegis based on Simple Icons. The icons are automatically generated, so not all of them are as high quality as the ones you'll find in aegis-icons.

Unable to activate Biometric unlock after biometric change
Info

Version: 1.1.1

Source: F-Droid

Vault encrypted: Yes (with password)

Android version and ROM: Android 9

Steps to reproduce

I previously had "Biometric unlock" activated in Aegis without any issue.

I've changed my biometric data in Android settings (namely: I've removed a fingerprint and added another). Aegis then prompted me to enable again the "Biometric unlock", but I'm unable to do so. Nothing happens when I click on the "Biometric unlock" setting.

I've tried to completely disable the encryption then enable it again, but that doesn't change anything.

Syncing using cloud services

It would be useful to sync data across devices using cloud services like Joplin does. As long as the data are encrypted, they can be placed even on Dropbox.

Icon packs
We've recently been thinking some more about how to improve icon support in Aegis. Lots of users have been using krisu5's icon pack as a source for icons in Aegis. The icon pack is great, but it's a bit of a pain for users to use, and that's Aegis' fault. To make the experience better, we want to introduce support for icon packs.

The idea is that creators of icon packs format their releases in the standard way described in this proposal, so that Aegis can read and use them.

This way, we can keep the maintenance of icons packs and Aegis itself separate, while also offering users the ability to use/create icon packs without being forced to use the one provided by the app.

@krisu5 We'd appreciate your feedback on this.

The format

Icon packs are .ZIP archives with a collection of icons and a pack.json file. The icon pack definition is a JSON file, formatted like the example below. All icon packs have a name, a UUID, a version and a list of icons. The version number is incremented when a new version of the icon pack is released. The UUID is randomly generated once and stays the same across different versions.

{ "uuid": "e77dbfb5-30d6-468d-bf74-37f07734bcf5", "name": "Kristian's Icon Pack", "version": 1, "icons": [ { "filename": "services/Google.png", "category": "Services", "issuer": [ "google" ] }, { "filename": "services/Blizzard.png", "category": "Gaming", "issuer": [ "blizzard", "battle.net" ] } ] }

Every icon definition contains the filename of the icon file, relative to the root of the .ZIP archive. Icon definitions also have a list of strings that the Issuer field in Aegis is matched against for automatic selection of an icon for new entries. Matching is done in a case-insensitve manner. There's also a category field.

The following image formats are supported, in order of preference:

| Name | MIME | Extension | |:-----|:--------------|:----------| | SVG | image/svg+xml | .svg | | PNG | image/png | .png | | JPEG | image/jpeg | .jpg |

Any files in the .ZIP archive that are not the pack.json file or referred to in the icons list are ignored. Such files are not extracted when importing the icon pack into Aegis.

Changes to Aegis' vault format

Supporting multiple image formats also means that we have to make a small change to Aegis' vault format. Aegis currently only stores and expects JPEG images. We'd have to introduce a new icon_mime field for entries to store the MIME type of the icon. When loading older vaults, entries that do not have that field will try to parse the icon as JPEG.

I previously proposed moving icons out of the vault file entirely in #134, but that would be a much larger change, and has stalled improvements to our icon support. We can revisit if that's still desirable later.

We may also have to increment the vault format version, because previous versions of Aegis will no longer be able to load vaults with these changes.

Using icon packs in Aegis

Users can download an icon pack from the internet and import it into Aegis through the settings menu. Aegis extracts the icon pack to icons/{uuid}/{version}, relative to its internal storage directory. So for the example icon pack above, that'd be: icons/e77dbfb5-30d6-468d-bf74-37f07734bcf5/1.0. If it has an old version of the icon pack, it will be removed after successful extraction of the newer version.

After that, Aegis will start proposing icons for new entries if the issuer matches with one of the icons in the pack. We'll also have an icon selection dialog, where all of the icons in the pack appear. When the user selects an icon, it is copied and stored in the vault file.

App is laggy

Hi,

Since I added a new 2FA code (17 in total), Aegis became very laggy... Scrolling, pressing on the three dots menu. When in settings or before unlocking the vault, everything is smooth, but when on the main screen, everything is lagging. I suspect it's related to the remaining time bar. I don't really know if I'm clear, and I don't know how to show you this issue...

My device is a Lenovo MotoG5 Plus running Android 8.1.0 (1st of february for security updates).

[Resource] I made some 2FA profile icons

⚠️ Moved to repo ⚠️

https://github.com/krisu5/aegis-icons

Icons are 1024x1024, using simpleicons.org as resource for most of the icons (for others, I used official branding resources) and main brand color as background color. Nothing fancy, just pasting SVGs and placing the BG color.

I started making icons for own use, but I figure why not make more of them as easy icon resource. I made icons based of the Two Factor Auth List and is the site / service popular enough to make a icon IMO.

I can make more by request (include vector / branding sources, if possible).

Fingerprint unlock prompt gets stuck sometimes drawing over all apps until reboot on OnePlus 6
Info

Version: 1.1.4

Source: (Google Play/GitHub/F-Droid/?) Google play

Vault encrypted: Yes (with biometric unlock)

Device: OnePlus 6

Android version and ROM: 10.3.2

Steps to reproduce

Really unsure about this one, happens randomly. When opening the app the fingerprint unlock shows up, you unlock it, and the unlock overlay remains stuck over all apps, even the lock screen. The only way to fix it I found is to reboot the device. Pressing cancel does nothing, touching the fingerprint sensor also does not remove it.

The only possible reproduction that may be possible is changing from portrait to landscape during unlock, but I'm unsure about that.

Face Unlock support

According to the app description on https://getaegis.app/ face unlocking should also be an option, however I'm unable to find such feature within the app. All I could do is fingerprint unlocking in the app, but enabling face unlock on the phone itself (not aegis).

Searching through old issues didn't make it clear to me if the face unlock feature was actually available or working at some time. Is there some possible restriction on the device capabilities to make it unavailable just for some users, like non Pixel phones? Perhaps it has not been reimplemented once the biometrics API has been in use?

Thanks,

For now entries can only be added to 1 group, but basically everything needed to make adding to multiple possible is already laid down here, and I'll be happy to work on that if this PR is merged.

Biometrics grayed out on Galaxy S10e if only face recognition is set up

Version

2.1.2

Source

Google Play

Vault encryption

Yes

Device

Samsung Galaxy S10e

Android version

Android 12

ROM

stock

Steps to reproduce

Open Settings / Security in Aegis.

What do you expect to happen?

Biometric unlock via face recognition should be available, as it is for other apps.

What happens instead?

"Biometric unlock" is grayed out even though I can use the OS's face recognition perfectly fine for unlocking the phone itself and also for biometric access control in at least two other apps (notably Bitwarden).

Further info: I did not enroll my fingerprints as the reader is so unreliable that it's too frustrating to use. If I add a fingerprint for testing purposes it does work fine (but I know that it's too finicky to keep activated), but I'm never prompted for face recognition unlock. If I then remove the fingerprint Aegis will tell me "no fingerprint enrolled". But it's never referencing face recognition as biometrics option even though it's properly set up.

Also: after removing of my enrolled fingertip the "Biometric unlock" is grayed out again but still activated! If I open the app it complains about a missing fingerprint (as expected) but in order to disable "Biometric unlock" I first have to re-enroll a finger, just to have the possibility to disable biometrics in the settings...

Unrelated: Happy new year! And thanks for Aegis.

There is a red banner in top of Aegis app warning me that the latest backup is outdated. However I don't use and I don't want to use backup, I do my backups manually. It's very annoying. This is also happening on my brothers phones. If I go to the backup settings and turn on/off the android backup the banner disappears but why this happening? This is started to happen after a recent update and I don't remember exactly when, but it wasn't like that before. Excuse me if there is already an open issue about that or discussed before, you can link my issue there.

Warning banner for individual 2FA entry exports

When the "Transfer Entries" feature is used, it would be useful it a persistent warning banner shows for a few days, similar to #132 which triggers on full exports in plaintext.

It's unavoidable to sometimes provide access to your phone (customs, police etc). In those cases you'd want to know if individual 2FA codes were exported.

I realise the Aegis app requires authentication to access it and locks with the phone. This feature would account for scenarios where users might not opt into encrypting the vault.
