Ratings and reviews

IT GETS THE JOB DONE. Supports authentication-lock via fingerprint/PIN, has pretty logos OOTB for most websites, and even supports Steam's kooky alt-TOTP algorithm. The only reservation I have is that it didn't seem to work as a URI handler (e.g. when a QR code is scanned from the native Camera app) on my phone; but I could still scan them from *within* the app; and, seeing the developers' work on other issues it's had, I'm sure this will be fixed shortly. This is clearly *the* TOTP/HOTP app.

This is probably the best independent 2FA app I've used, and I've used a ton of from the original FreeOTP to Google's own authenticator. FreeOTP+ is fast, clean and allows for backups, which is a rarity for these. I also appreciate the extended time it takes to get the code, which is something that many of these others lack. In fact, the only thing that prevents it from getting five stars (and I hope they consider adding this) is that organization could use a bit more work; trying to alphabetize everything is a pain and a half. Other than that, highly recommended and well above many of the others!

Found this when looking for open source 2FA with backup & restore capability. Export to and import from JSON works. 2 major bugs though: 1) QR scanner never scans (weird, since it works in FreeOTP). 2) Can't edit or delete entries: once created, an entry is immutable and permanent (weird, since FreeOTP can do this). Otherwise, this app is exactly what I'm seeking!
