Aegis Authenticator 非常适合 Android

Aegis Authenticator 是一款用于多因素身份验证的简单应用程序，具有许多有用的选项来保护和加快您的工作流程。

Aegis Authenticator is a multi-factor authentication app for Android devices. It doesn't collect any data, and it offers extra layers of token protection by urging you to keep your data behind a biometric lock or a password. We appreciate the app's helpful appearance and behavior customization settings, and we like that the app can import and export tokens to and from other authentication apps.

Aegis Authenticator 是一款适用于 Android 设备的多因素身份验证应用程序。它不收集任何数据，并且通过敦促您将数据保存在生物识别锁或密码后面，提供额外的令牌保护层。我们欣赏该应用程序有用的外观和行为自定义设置，并且我们喜欢该应用程序可以与其他身份验证应用程序导入和导出令牌。

Getting Started With Aegis Authenticator

开始使用 Aegis 身份验证器

As we noted earlier, Aegis is only for Android devices. No desktop, iOS, or wearable versions are available. The only app we've reviewed with watchOS compatibility is Authy.

正如我们之前指出的，Aegis 仅适用于 Android 设备。没有桌面、iOS 或可穿戴版本可用。我们审查过的唯一具有 watchOS 兼容性的应用程序是 Authy。

We tested Aegis using a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G running Android 13. We like that the app asks you to create a password or use biometrics, such as a face or fingerprint scan, to unlock your token vault. It's an extra layer of protection that can keep your vault from being accessed without your consent. After setting a password, you can navigate to the Settings menu and set up a separate password for decrypting backups and exports. That way, even if someone has the password to your token vault, they still can't access your data.

我们使用运行 Android 13 的三星 Galaxy A71 5G 测试了 Aegis。我们喜欢该应用程序要求您创建密码或使用生物识别技术（例如面部或指纹扫描）来解锁您的令牌库。这是一层额外的保护，可以防止您的保管库在未经您同意的情况下被访问。设置密码后，您可以导航到“设置”菜单并设置单独的密码来解密备份和导出。这样，即使有人拥有您的令牌库的密码，他们仍然无法访问您的数据。

Signup Requirements

注册要求

The app does not offer options to create or sign up for an account, which is ideal. Generating tokens isn't a data-hungry process, so we like apps in this category that don't require email addresses, phone numbers, or other information just to use.

该应用程序不提供创建或注册帐户的选项，这是理想的选择。生成令牌不是一个需要大量数据的过程，因此我们喜欢​​此类中不需要电子邮件地址、电话号码或其他信息即可使用的应用程序。

Data Collection Policies

数据收集政策

According to the Google Play listing for Aegis Authenticator, the app does not collect any data. The app's privacy policy is just three sentences long and states that it only requires camera access to scan QR codes, which appears to be accurate. This is a refreshing change, as it's not unusual for authenticator apps to collect location or diagnostic data, as we've seen from Microsoft Authenticator. Similarly, Google Authenticator requests data from eight different app categories, including your Contacts list, photos, and videos.

根据 Aegis Authenticator 的 Google Play 列表，该应用程序不会收集任何数据。该应用程序的隐私政策只有三句话，并指出它只需要摄像头访问即可扫描二维码，这似乎是准确的。这是一个令人耳目一新的变化，因为身份验证器应用程序收集位置或诊断数据并不罕见，正如我们从 Microsoft Authenticator 中看到的那样。同样，Google Authenticator 会请求来自八个不同应用类别的数据，包括您的联系人列表、照片和视频。

Hands On With Aegis Authenticator

亲身体验 Aegis 身份验证器

The app's default interface has a black, gray, and white layout with easy-to-navigate menus. Screenshots are disabled by default, a helpful feature we've also seen in 2FAS. As you peruse the menus, the Appearance section allows you to adjust the color scheme to your liking. We changed ours to match the test phone's background and color settings.

该应用程序的默认界面具有黑色、灰色和白色布局，并带有易于导航的菜单。默认情况下禁用屏幕截图，这是我们在 2FAS 中也看到的一个有用的功能。当您仔细阅读菜单时，“外观”部分允许您根据自己的喜好调整配色方案。我们更改了我们的设置以匹配测试手机的背景和颜色设置。

In the Behavior section of the Settings menu, you can change how you interact with the tokens the app generates. To test this, we activated a setting to immediately minimize the app after copying a token. That way the numbers are visible for the least amount of time, shoulder surfers don't get a chance to read your codes, and you don't have to remember to close the app window on your phone. This setting worked well throughout our testing. You can also customize the order of your tokens from the app's dashboard, and long-pressing on a token allows you to edit or delete its name.

在“设置”菜单的“行为”部分中，您可以更改与应用程序生成的令牌交互的方式。为了测试这一点，我们激活了一项设置，以在复制令牌后立即最小化应用程序。这样，数字在最短的时间内可见，肩膀冲浪者就没有机会读取您的代码，并且您不必记住关闭手机上的应用程序窗口。此设置在我们的整个测试过程中效果良好。您还可以从应用程序的仪表板自定义令牌的顺序，长按令牌可以编辑或删除其名称。

Creating a new token is as easy as scanning a QR code or image, or manually entering a code to connect the app with your online account. We enabled multi-factor authentication on the X account we use for testing and were able to log in using the code generated by Aegis successfully. To view your login history on the app, visit the Security menu and view the Audit Log.

创建新令牌就像扫描二维码或图像一样简单，或者手动输入代码以将应用程序与您的在线帐户连接起来。我们在用于测试的 X 帐户上启用了多重身份验证，并能够使用 Aegis 生成的代码成功登录。要查看应用程序上的登录历史记录，请访问“安全”菜单并查看审核日志。

We also like that you can quickly delete your tokens if you think they're in danger. A setting in the vault allows you to use Ripple, a panic button trigger from the Guardian Project, to delete your token vault instantly.

我们还喜欢的是，如果您认为代币处于危险之中，您可以快速删除代币。金库中的一项设置允许您使用 Ripple（来自 Guardian Project 的紧急按钮触发器）立即删除您的代币金库。

Backing Up Account Info

备份账户信息

With Aegis Authenticator, you can create an auto-backup schedule or set reminders to save your data to Android Cloud or external storage. It's a good idea to back up your data so you can still log in to your accounts with a new phone if your old one is lost or stolen. Visit the Settings menu to explore those options.

使用 Aegis Authenticator，您可以创建自动备份计划或设置提醒，将数据保存到 Android Cloud 或外部存储。最好备份数据，以便在旧手机丢失或被盗时仍然可以使用新手机登录帐户。访问“设置”菜单以探索这些选项。

Token Exporting and Importing

令牌导出和导入

In an unusual but welcome move, Aegis can import token lists saved by other apps as plain text files. It can process special files from 17 competing apps, including 2FAS, Authy, Battle.net Authenticator, and Steam. You can also import tokens directly from another app if you have it installed and are willing to give Aegis Authenticator root access, which involves a bit of trust on your part. We recommend sticking with the file import option, which worked well during our tests.

这是一个不寻常但受欢迎的举措，Aegis 可以导入其他应用程序以纯文本文件形式保存的令牌列表。它可以处理来自 17 个竞争应用程序的特殊文件，包括 2FAS、Authy、Battle.net Authenticator 和 Steam。如果您安装了另一个应用程序并且愿意授予 Aegis Authenticator 根访问权限，您还可以直接从另一个应用程序导入令牌，这需要您的一点信任。我们建议坚持使用文件导入选项，该选项在我们的测试中效果很好。

You can also export your token list to use it in another app. We successfully imported our Aegis list to Google Authenticator, for example. We also like that you can long-press on a token in your vault and generate a QR code to transfer the individual account token to a different authenticator app. Only 2FAS allows for easy exports and imports like Aegis, the rest of the apps

您还可以导出令牌列表以在其他应用程序中使用它。例如，我们成功地将 Aegis 列表导入到 Google Authenticator。我们还希望您可以长按保管库中的令牌并生成二维码，以将个人帐户令牌转移到不同的身份验证器应用程序。只有 2FAS 允许像 Aegis 一样轻松导出和导入，其余应用程序
