Authenticator Pro - Free open source two-factor authentication app for Android. Has encrypted backups, icons, categories and a high level of customization. There is also a companion app for Wear OS.
TOTP (time-based) and HOTP (counter-based) authenticators are supported, using SHA1, SHA256 or SHA512 hashing algorithms. Mobile-Otp (mOTP), Steam, and Yandex are also supported.
Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of account security by requiring a one-time login code. In addition to a username and password, a code provided by Authenticator Pro is required. So even if your login credentials are compromised, your account remains secure.

This just made me switch from AndOTP. Much better UI, awesome import capabilities, much more robust backup/restore. Thanks for sharing!
Nice to read this, thanks for the positive feedback.
Is this any better than Aegis?
It has a compact mode with 2 columns that I find pretty neat. Otherwise, it’s mostly the same as aegis with custom icons, groups, password and biometric unlock, etc.
Though it looks like it’s missing Aegis’ import capabilities (extracting with root)
I moved from Aegis to this, and it has been seamless! And for those who care, it has Material You theming, and most importantly, the WearOS app is stellar.
Why would I switch from aegis
There’s nothing wrong with Aegis, I just preferred the extra features on Authenticor Pro. Before I switched, I was hoping Aegis would implement WearOS support, but apparently the developer wasn’t interested.
Ah
I think the app is fine but finally I continue to use FreeOTP+.
