			<description><![CDATA[On android we have many app stores available. Playstore, f-droid, and app stores by the Device manufacturers. But None of them give you the ability to download apps from different websites and track updates in real time. <br />
<br />
That's where Obtainium comes in.<br />
<br />
➯ Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their release pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.<br />
<br />
➯ You can add github links, direct download links from websites and any other source you can think of.<br />
<br />
➯ You have the option to backup your configuration and restore it on a new device when needed. <br />
<br />
Give Obtainium a try. It's a FOSS app that respects your privacy and security. <br />

<br />
<a href="https://notesnook.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">​​​​​​</a><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size">: ̗̀➛ Website ➝ <a href="https://getaegis.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://getaegis.app/</a></span><br />

<br />
Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Compatibility</span><br />
Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms. These two algorithms are industry-standard and widely supported, making Aegis compatible with thousands of services. Any web service that supports Google Authenticator will also work with Aegis Authenticator.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Encryption and biometric unlock</span><br />
All of your one-time passwords are stored in a vault. If you choose to set a password (highly recommended), the vault will be encrypted using strong cryptography. If someone with malicious intent gets a hold of the vault file, it’s impossible for them to retrieve the contents without knowing the password. Entering your password each time you need access to a one-time password can be cumbersome. Fortunately, you can also enable biometric unlock if your device has a biometrics sensor (i.e. fingerprint or face unlock).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Organization</span><br />
Over time, you'll likely accumulate tens of entries in your vault. Aegis Authenticator has lots of organization options to make finding the one you need at a particular moment easier. Set a custom icon for an entry to make it easier to find. Search by account name or service name. Have a lot of one-time passwords? Add them to custom groups for easier access. Personal, Work and Social can each get their own group.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Backups</span><br />
To make sure you will never lose access to your online accounts, Aegis Authenticator can create automatic backups of the vault to a location of your choosing. If your cloud provider supports the Storage Access Framework of Android (like Nextcloud does), it can even create automatic backups to the cloud. Creating manual exports of the vault is also supported.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Making the switch</span><br />
To make the switch easier, Aegis Authenticator can import the entries of lots of other authenticators, including: Authenticator Plus, Authy, andOTP, FreeOTP, FreeOTP+, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Steam, TOTP Authenticator and WinAuth (root access is required for the apps that don't have an option to export).<br />
<br />

<br />
Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Compatibility</span><br />
Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms. These two algorithms are industry-standard and widely supported, making Aegis compatible with thousands of services. Any web service that supports Google Authenticator will also work with Aegis Authenticator.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Encryption and biometric unlock</span><br />
All of your one-time passwords are stored in a vault. If you choose to set a password (highly recommended), the vault will be encrypted using strong cryptography. If someone with malicious intent gets a hold of the vault file, it’s impossible for them to retrieve the contents without knowing the password. Entering your password each time you need access to a one-time password can be cumbersome. Fortunately, you can also enable biometric unlock if your device has a biometrics sensor (i.e. fingerprint or face unlock).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Organization</span><br />
Over time, you'll likely accumulate tens of entries in your vault. Aegis Authenticator has lots of organization options to make finding the one you need at a particular moment easier. Set a custom icon for an entry to make it easier to find. Search by account name or service name. Have a lot of one-time passwords? Add them to custom groups for easier access. Personal, Work and Social can each get their own group.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Backups</span><br />
To make sure you will never lose access to your online accounts, Aegis Authenticator can create automatic backups of the vault to a location of your choosing. If your cloud provider supports the Storage Access Framework of Android (like Nextcloud does), it can even create automatic backups to the cloud. Creating manual exports of the vault is also supported.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Making the switch</span><br />
To make the switch easier, Aegis Authenticator can import the entries of lots of other authenticators, including: Authenticator Plus, Authy, andOTP, FreeOTP, FreeOTP+, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Steam, TOTP Authenticator and WinAuth (root access is required for the apps that don't have an option to export).<br />
<br />

<br />
The Android Security Bulletin contains details of security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices. Security patch levels of 2023-09-05 or later address all of these issues. To learn how to check a device's security patch level, see <a href="https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Check and update your Android version</a>.<br />
<br />
Android partners are notified of all issues at least a month before publication. Source code patches for these issues have been released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository and linked from this bulletin. This bulletin also includes links to patches outside of AOSP.<br />
<br />
The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the System component that could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. The <a href="https://source.android.com/security/overview/updates-resources.html#severity" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">severity assessment</a> is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.<br />

In the sections below, we provide details for each of the security vulnerabilities that apply to the 2023-09-01 patch level. Vulnerabilities are grouped under the component they affect. Issues are described in the tables below and include CVE ID, associated references, <a href="https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2023-09-01#type" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">type of vulnerability</a>, <a href="https://source.android.com/security/overview/updates-resources#severity" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">severity</a>, and updated AOSP versions (where applicable). When available, we link the public change that addressed the issue to the bug ID, like the AOSP change list. When multiple changes relate to a single bug, additional references are linked to numbers following the bug ID.
