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

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.

As long as you use one device and don't want to have a backup device or switch to a new one this app works just fine. But it doesn't let me unlock my account on another device because it always states the password is wrong. I changed it multiple times, waited, nothing. I'll have to use another authenticator app as this one will lock me out of my account the minute my phone dies. This is an issue for ages and I don't understand why it isn't being fixed.

Terrible customer support, After having accidentally added the prefix in the phone number field when I changed it I had to struggle for over a week to get them to remove 2 digits from an INVALID phone number, if a human had read the claim it should have been instantly resolved since it was literally the exact same number mins 2 digits, instead I had to go through multiple automated bots to get it fixed.
