Aegis ia even better
How? BitWarden has great 2FA, but is also a password manager with good integrations, group sharing, etc. Plus when you log in with it, it auto-copies the 2fa to clipboard.
Assuming you've used both, so what does Aegis bring to the table? Wondering if I should try it.
For the same reason you usually shouldnt store 2FA in the passwordmanager.
Besides that Aegis has some features like automated (encrypted) backups when accounts are removed/added.
Also can use multiple different 2FA protocols (even Steam when your phone has root).

This is a more welcome addition than that stupid AI chatbot slop machine.
But I would still like to see them release Proton Drive for Linux already.
I wouldn't mind not having a native Linux drive client if they didn't block rsync, which used to work, and now does not. What a stupid decision.
Fantastic, wish they prioritised stuff like this instead of AI but at least it's here now. Now please make a dedicated contacts app so I can stop using Google contacts too!
Yeah, I also was disappointed that proton wallet was for crypto and not credit cards. Unless someone can recommend an alternative to Google wallet, preferably from F-Droid
Google Wallet is not so much a "wallet" for your cards but a way to link your cards to their own payment service, Google Pay.
Both Apple and Google had a lot of problems convincing banks to accept their respective services, and even then many stores still don't support this payment method. A company with the clout and size of Proton has no chance to get their own service widely accepted.
The FSF (and RMS himself) wanted an alternative for online payments for ages, without crypto. An anonymous buffer layer between your payment method, like a credit card, and the vendor. I believe something was eventually released but it never took off, because unlike something like a NFC Wallet, vendors would have to natively support GNU's version.
I think you are referring to GNU Taler.
It recently started operating in a kind of open beta in Switzerland https://news.itsfoss.com/gnu-taler-swiss-operations/
I started using Curve since I swapped to Graphene. Upsides: it's not google and it works fine. Downsides: it's a free as in beer app that (I assume) is selling my data.
I've read that Monzo used to have their own NFC payment app, but it looks like that isn't around anymore and they just integrate with Google Pay now. If anyone knows more about it I would love to hear it.
Same, if they made a wallet for cards then I'd actually use my phone to pay for stuff
Been using Aegis on android and managing my own backups but maybe switch or use for things I care less for just for simplicity
yes Aegis is awesome

Why its not available as apk or aab or on fdroid?
Promoting play store?
What's more, they talk up how it's open source and then don't link to the repo.
Here it is, BTW:
