  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Holy shit why don't other auth apps have that! It's nice to get a warning that I only have 5 seconds to use the code, but how about I start typing the next code in those 5 seconds!

Probably because the 2FA spec recommends allowing the previous and next TOTP too. (both to account for this need to hurry and to account for time drift)

Yes, this feature alone makes it stick out above all the other competition. I immediately left Aegis and never looked back, haha.

Guess what! You can enable it in the Aegis settings: Appearance->Show next code

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I never would have known it was there!

I had no idea myself. Why don't they make this the default?! Well, Ente Auth specifically had an Aegis database import feature, so it was painless to move and I still think Ente's font sizes are better sized to me.
