Signal is better than WA (from privacy point of view) but it's still a centralised service. I am personally a fan of xmpp but since I was never even able to convince anyone to switch from WA to Signal, convincing people to switch to a federated service is even tougher.
On the other hand, switching messengers once every decade should be fine, I think. We did switch from ICQ/AIM to Yahoo! / MSN messenger, then came Skype, then WhatsApp. I think Signal should be good enough for this decade.
There's also Threema, Swiss based, but it has one-time payment, so most people wouldn't like it.
Take a backup once every 6 months or so, and have it on my computer. Along with my backup of password manager's file.
As a last resort, I just remember my email account's password and keep it's backup codes with me, everything else can be reset as long as I can log into my email account.
Don't even remember why I chose it, but remember everyone being very happy about it. Here's the info from it's FAQ:
Compared to other 2FA apps, we think Aegis stands out in terms of its simplicity and security. Most popular apps like Google Authenticator and FreeOTP don't bother with additional security measures. They allow access to your tokens right after opening the app. Aegis, on the other hand, encrypts all of your tokens at rest and requires a password or the touch of a finger to decrypt them.
Another important feature is the ability to export your tokens and import them into another device. Google Authenticator doesn't have this, which has not only annoyed users for years, but has also resulted in loss of access to lots of accounts.
I'll suggest implementing some kind of auto-save. Just keep it in internal db until user saves it or something. Cause on mobile, generally it is expected that things will auto-save, and there are many lower end phones that automatically close app when they go in the background, specially if there are multiple apps open.
It's pretty neat. Specially liked the PDF summary, though why does summary says "Connector void" about all connectors, I couldn't figure out a way to do anything with the connectors.
Also, when saving .flogo file, it doesn't check if file already exists, and overwrite it.
Also, is there any auto-save? I didn't check? But if I am making a long flowchart, wont' want to lose cause of accidentally closing the app.
I guess I should jump start this by sharing my own list.
I was away from android ecosystem for a few years, but a few of my must-haves are:
AntennaPod: Podcast app, open-source. Not a big podcast guy, but this works pretty great.
KDE Connect: Connect your phone with computer (Linux, not sure about other OS), you can sync notifications, send commands, message, share files etc.
Tasker: All time favourite automation app, don't think there is any competition for this.
Bonus:
AppDialer Pro: A search app / widget to quickly open any app / contact / other stuff by using T9 (or full keyboard), I had the previous Pro version but apparently it's outdated now and need to buy the latest version, so not sure if I want to right now. Latest version is called: "AppDialer 11–T9 app search"
Only if you had tried to hide what Streisand effect is, we could've had Streisand effect of Streisand effect.
Edit: Don't watch much review videos, hadn't even heard of the guy. Looked up the video, and ended up subscribing to his channel 😀 At least he is getting free publicity with it.
Actually, it should be easier to convince these people. If they are already used to 2+ IM apps, then what's the issue with adding one more? Ask them if you are important enough for one more app. 😀
Problem is for people who only have one app, and find it too bothersome (or confusing, for non-techie / old people) to use more than one app.
This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don't use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its' pretty pricey compare to purelymail.
Don't really use discord, but will give it a try myself and check it out.
That's a nice bot!
This looks interesting. Has anyone used it?
I remember that from bash.org! 😀
Anyone remember bash.org?
Delta seems cool, I haven't used it much, but I would rate it one step below Signal for general use. It can be the chat for 30s, I think 😀

Thanks for the recommendations.
Have you tried Aegis? I have settled on that for my 2FA needs.

What do you think of NewPipe? That's the only one I use, haven't tried GrayJay or PipePipe

That looks really cool. Would love to see if there is something like that for android

Yeah, I didn't know it was just one person. That doesn't really feel umm... safe for something like email.
