Authy

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

After the removal of the desktop app (the only differentiator compared to other apps) I had no way to "back up" my codes and was already not a huge fan anymore. Now they messed the UI up so badly it is literally unusable for me: I have multiple services where I use the same email login (obviously). But now I cannot see the icon of the service, or the name of the service itself. Why? I just have a list of 8 times the same email address(cut off because of the font) and a generic lock icon.

New UI is meh. I really hate the size of the text and would like it to be customizable; I'd like to be able to shrink the text size a bit, a lot of my accounts get cut off because they don't fit and if I have multiple accounts under one company (like I do for Microsoft for work), I can no longer quickly distinguish which token is for which account. Also, dark mode only covering the bottom half of the screen while the top is light is clinically insane.

New look is horrible. All icons are gone. They're still there in edit mode, but don't show up on the icons in the overview. The text is comically large, and gets truncated, so all accounts read the same: the part of your username that fits. Makes it hard to distinguish your accounts from each other.
