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 hate the new UI. It's hard to differentiate between the apps. Some of my icons are gone. You can search for a new one, but who knows where it's pulling from. The scaling is so small, you can't tell what they are. Searched for my credit union by the app name, and it pulls some old logo from who knows where. Also, all of the icon pictures are now in a circle so edges are cut off. Very frustrating they felt the need to change something just for change's sake. It's not better at all.

Backup sync is confusing and dangerous. If you need to move devices or restore, you are relying on luck. Sometimes 2fa accounts are synced, other times, no. This means some newer 2fas aren't on the backup and don't get to the next device. Don't change your backup password, some tokens are encrypted with one password, others are encrypted with a different password. Used this app for a few years, besides scary backup problem the main features of the app work fine.

New UI is horrible! Token icons don't work nearly as well or show at all (My Microsoft icons are all gone). All generated tokens are visible in list view all the time instead of having to click on them to show (security?), and I'm not going through and renaming 100+ of my 300 or so tokens because you changed the way they display. No dark mode is possibly the BIGGEST oversight for a modern UI. At least give us the option to go back to the old interface if you are making changes like this.
