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

I have been using authy for a while and just got a new phone. my tokens are all encrypted and I can not access them. I have created several new back up keys with my old device and enter them on the new device only to get an invalid password error over and over again. I uninstalled the app on both devices and both were encrypted. I entered the most recent backup key created and was able to deceptive on my old device. the same password does not work on my new device. very frustrating

I regret updating my app without checking the reviews first 🤦🏻‍♂️. The new UI is cluttered, with oversized icons and font size. The grid format no longer resembles a grid. And worst of all, there's no dark mode 😡. The only thing I like is the cleaner-looking font (not its size), and I do like the top section where the code and app logo is displayed. However, the bottom part where the saved "apps" are located is messy.

I've been using it for a couple of years and honestly I had no problems. Until I realized how bad this app is. There is no export/import to local device, imagine if twilio shut down, you're screwed because all your totp's will be gone. Another one is they force you to update the app which is quite annoying since you cannot ignore/skip it. And they always remind you to change your password everytime you open the app. Tbh I am concerned how Authy hold my accounts in hostage. I regret using this.
