About this app

Authy brings the future of strong authentication to the convenience of your Android device.

The Authy app generates secure 2 step verification tokens on your device. It helps you protect your account from hackers and hijackers by adding an additional layer of security.


Why Authy is the best multi factor authentication app:

- Secure Cloud Backups:
Did you lose your device and got locked out of all of your accounts? Authy provides secure cloud encrypted backups so you will never lose access to your tokens again. We use the same algorithm banks and the NSA use to protect their information.

- Multi Device Synchronization:
Are your re-scanning all your QR codes just to add them to your tablet and smartphone? With Authy you can simply add devices to your account and all of your 2fa tokens will automatically synchronize.

- Offline:
Still waiting for an SMS to arrive? Do you travel constantly and lose access to your accounts? Authy generates secure tokens offline from the safety of your Android device, this way you can authenticate securely even when in airplane mode.

- All of your accounts:
We support most multi-factor authentication accounts including Facebook, Dropbox, Amazon, Gmail, and thousands of other providers. We also support 8 digit tokens.

- Protect your bitcoins:
Authy is the preferred two factor authentication solution to protect your bitcoin wallet. We are the default 2fa provider for trusted companies like Coinbase, CEX.IO, BitGo and many others.

Ratings and reviews

Absolute trash. Don't use this. After resetting my phone, I couldn't access my codes. At first, the app said my phone didn't meet security requirements. After fixing that and requesting an account reset, the app wouldn't allow me to complete the recovery process. I've been in contact with technical support for a week who still haven't fixed the issue. No solution will be found. Ridiculous. I've switched to Ente Auth which is far better.

This used to be a great app. Now, there's no dark theme. Even worse, the latest update no longer finds accounts when searching because the search function cannot find words in brackets e.g. jk (Google). Instead, I now have to scroll through hundreds of tokens to find the one I'm looking for! What once took seconds now takes minutes. Updates are meant to be upgrades, not downgrades.

I only put up with this awful excuse for an app in the first place because they had a passable desktop app with synchronisation. Now the desktop app has been discontinued (I'm sure the zero changes in several years were exhausting for the developers) I'm left looking for a decent way to migrate to a good service. This app lacks even the most basic features you might expect, like sorting your accounts or changing the icons without massive limitations, yet it's somehow gigantic and slow. Useless
