Any reason to use this rather than Ente Auth?

Any reasons to use Ente Auth over Aegis?
-
Not really. Yet, Ente Auth offers syncing between devices which one may deem to be against the concept of 2FA (different token keys on different devices).
-
Being able to sync between devices is a huge benefit. I switched from Aegis to Ente Auth for that reason.
It's all e2e encrypted, and you can protect your Ente account with a hardware key, so there's basically no downside.
-
The downside is complexity which is always a reason to not use software that deals in cryptography stuff. Sometimes simple is best.
-
In your case, the second factor is the use of the hardware key.

If knew the answer to this, I wouldn't have need to ask my question...
