Twilio Authy Authenticator

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, dragging to reorganize accounts when on the grid view makes NO sense. ALL accounts should shift (like in list view), not swap places.

I use two phones. I sometimes have no issues with Authy. But then it randomly demands the backup password when adding an new account. I save all old passwords, and none work. Not the current one, which I am able to set again in the app, and literally hit their own copy button, then paste into the decrypt password prompt, and not any previous passwords. The system needs work. It's just too clunky. Wish I'd never backed up any of them. The odd thing is this just goes away on its own sometimes.

I had to factory reset my phone, and now I can't get back into my account. Usually, it allows me to enter my password. I don't even get that option after putting in the country code and phone number. I have to wait 24 hours before I can get access, and now I have to wait about 5 days for another account that needs this 2FA to verify. After my account is verified, I'm done with this app, this is ridiculous. What's the point of a Backup Password/Key if it not usable for recovery.
