Description

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 help’s 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 major multifactor 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.

The program was working flawlessly but now I am not able to sign in to my work laptop (Chrome) using the master password. It always tells me the password doesn't match. If I use the same PW in my home laptop (Chrome), it opens up right away. Not sure what's going on but it's a bit inconvenient, which I thought was the meaning of being able to sync across devices so that the whole process becomes convenient. Authenticator Plus seems like a viable option right now but sadly they don't have a Chrome extension.

Best authorizer going imo Authorizers are pretty basic things, so why is this so good? You can sync it across devices and load your codes back whenever you need them. I wish I'd found this before my phone updated to 6.0 and killed the Amazon one I was using before. This has a much better interface also.

Much better than its competitors. However better than it was, it still has a limited number of site icons; they need to allow us to insert our own icons for that last star from me. I'm tired of half my entries having an "other" icon. There seems to be no user forum for us to make requests either.

Still no Android Wear support 😢 Working great on marshmallow. Would love to see Android Wear support, even if you make it a premium option it would be great! ** Edit: Got tired of waiting for android wear support. Moved over to Authenticator Plus, it's a paid app but has android wear and works just as well! 👍😉

Tom Capote

Must have! Better than Google Authenticator. When I first installed, my word was Wow! Coming from Google Authenticator, I was really unsure. After installed and playing with the features, Wow! Pin number security, backup, better code display times, widget, Bluetooth paring with my Mac. And more. Check out out, you won't be disappointed! Much better than Google Authenticator. No I don't work for them, just very pleased!!

Pablo Ruiz

Great app but... The interface could be better. The logos are low quality. And the "copy to clipboard" icon is also low quality. If you fix that and add a couple of themes (black, grey, blue) this app will definitely deserve 5 stars. I don't like the red theme because it's not nice to the eye on my AMOLED screen.

Could do with option of adding custom icons Would be 5 stars of it had more icons or the ability to add custom ones. Sites such as Amazon (non-web services), Origin, uPlay etc. don't have icons available. Also the LastPass and Google icons are now outdated. Otherwise a good app, far better than standard Google Authenticator.

Laurence Dhonau August 5, 2016

Great This app is very good. It's great having all your Two Factor Authentication codes in one place and not having to wait for a text to come in every time you want to access your account. I really like the way that you can use the codes across multiple devices. The only thing that I think needs improvement is the design - it feels only partially Material; the tabs at the bottom look old and clunky. Other than that, this is a great app and so much better than Google Authenticator!

Billy Chan May 28, 2016

confusing interface and dead link for more info you have an interface that shows accounts in a frames view, with individual records listed below in the bottom scrollable frame as thumbnails, if we swipe up we go into text-based list view, if changing view mode I think giving users the options to change view choices from a icon button on the top bar is quite sufficient and more intuitive I think. Also the link to find out more on the page after selecting adding a new account is dead. Both iPhone and android versions have the same bug, simply nothing loads

kevin johnson August 15, 2016

HORRIBLE....DO NOT DOWNLOAD I got locked out of my coinbase account when i got a new phone number and I had to download this horrible app...it takes 72 hours to verify your phone number and make simple changes. There's no customer service just automated emails from robots...after 72 hours they couldn't change my phone number...luckily the person who has my old phone number texted me the info so I could login. Worst app ever

PJ Anderson May 4, 2016

Best option for multiple devices, with one odd function Great and does the job, but I have a coinbase account that was added without notification or permission back when I tried that app, and it cannot be removed. This "feature" is very unwanted, otherwise it would be 5 star for sure.

Ivan Vasin July 27, 2016

Much better than Google Authenticator This is much better than Google Authenticator. Most importantly, your tokens are saved in the cloud and shared across devices, including desktops. This backup feature eliminates one of the biggest hassles of setting up a new phone. The UI is much nicer than Google Authenticator, and you can lock the app with a PIN. My only major gripe is that I cannot use my fingerprint instead of the PIN. Seems like an obvious improvement for a future version.

Marcus Nailor July 29, 2016

Fingerprint Support! This app is perfect, the only missing feature would be fingerprint support ;) Instead of having a 4 digit code to login, using a fingerprint scanner would be amazing! Also needs custom photos for logins.. not just relying on some low quality presets :/

May 28, 2016

Awesome app! One suggestion though. Would like an option to sync to my own DropBox account and not to Authy's own server for my own peace of mind. The backed up file would need to be encrypted so that without the master password, the backed up file can still not be used. Besides this, Authy is perfect!

Lucas Bannister July 17, 2016

Good app - poor tablet support there seems to be no good reason that this app forces portrait mode. For those who use a tablet, which is often in landscape mode, it's unnecessarily jarring to be thrown to portrait to get a code.

Kurtis Overdorf July 8, 2016

This is a great upgrade from Google Authenticator. I like the icons, the custom names, organizing, backups, app security, and Chrome app... All nice features. However, two very crucial features are missing. The ability to add a custom logo for accounts. There are so few account logos available it is shocking. Just give us the ability to upload our own logos and that is one less thing you need to worry about. Half my accounts have that lame key logo which takes away my ability to draw my eye to the desired account. This has been a sought after feature for YEARS. Also, fingerprint to unlock app. This needs to happen. Please add these and your app will be a home run.

Perry Luquis July 20, 2016

Nice App, Bad Customer Support App is good and I like the idea of syncing accounts but if you lose your number for any reason, you have to wait 2 days where they just give you multiple emails of how long you have to wait, then they make you verify by submitting information just to make you wait longer. I mean my email is linked to the account, what more verification do you need. Then when you email this complaint to them, your taken to whole different support site. So bottom line is don't lose your number.

dyte hunt August 30, 2016

Will not send sms messages or phone calls It worked for a while, but then it refused to send verification by sms or by phone calls. Which defeats the whole purpose of the app. Customer service is non existence

Greg Cockburn July 21, 2016

Almost Love authy, but on my tablet I wish it was better. First off the backups password shows up in cleartext. Why? Shouldn't this be *** out? Also doesn't recognise when the table is in landscape form, and so is really annoying to use when I'm using my tablet like a desktop. (you have to read it sideways).

Pepito Lopez June 18, 2016

Suspended? For what? I've been asked to input the correct code to access my account multiple times, and the app itself won't let me. Next thing I know I've been suspended. SMH. I'll be using another app AND go through the hassle of setting up everything again.

Klas Eighty-Two June 24, 2016

All (most of) my 2fa codes in one place. Best authenticator app I've used so far. Only wish more people would support authenticator apps and not do their own stupid thing that never works properly.

Linux Rox September 20, 2016

Absolutely fabulous! As often as I flash new roms, it was getting to be a royal pita to reconfigure all of my different auth apps! THIS app solved that problem! Hands down a must have for ROOT users!

Callan Cooper August 31, 2016

Amazing all around 2 factor authenticator Authy houses all of my 2 factor authentication needs and is amazing at warning for phising attempts if the URL is not what it should be. It, by the screen shots, can be used for facebook, gmail, EVE Online, and more. It really is a one stop spot for all of your 2 factor authentication needs.

Sean Dossey July 11, 2016

Been using for over a year. Love it. It would be nice to have fingerprint support for app and Android wear support. Won't dock a star for these, but would be fantastic of these items were implemented.

Matt Mower May 3, 2016

Partial sync and obtrusive token display It serves its core purpose reasonably well, displaying OTP tokens and syncing across devices, but there are a few annoyances: 1) after setting up a new device and confirming its addition using an existing device, the notification requesting confirmation does not automatically clear from _other_ existing devices; 2) renaming a provider does not sync to other devices; 3) the new bold text for >6 digit tokens makes it _harder_ to read, not easier; 4) very few providers have icons.

Lester Ingber June 13, 2016

After the last update of desktop Chrome (stable) Authy does not properly sync with same account on desktop with same backup settings. I had several instances of accounts with multiple entries (all with different generated codes!), on 2 Thinkpads/Win10 and 2 Androids/6.0.1. After deleting the extra instances on the desktops -- which did even sync with each other -- the phones also did not sync the corrections, even after 3 days. I'm certainly glad I have multiple authenticators in addition to Authy!

Denis Yurkin July 1, 2016

Fingerprint support Authy desperately needs fingerprint support. It's way too complicated now to switch to KP2A every time I need to enter PIN, only to pass fingerprint check there--which could be done altogether by Authy.

Chris Druif May 3, 2016

Very good TOTP app Especially the syncing between devices is just plain awesome. But it wish you could select custom icons for accounts. For example they still have the old blue Google logo and some services don't have an icon at all. I mean if you can sync the TOTP system, you can also support having custom icons.

Elemino Musgrove June 9, 2016

Awesome App I was having problems with Google's authenticator, but this one is pretty smooth. I like that it can sync my info, no need to setup everything over and over again. Definitely a must have for 2 step authentication.

Main Fighter August 15, 2016

Best one I've used Works perfectly for me, no need to use anything else. I switch ROMs on my phone slot to so the online sync thing is great. Wish I could use my fingerprint to login instead of a pin though.

Andri Agassi June 21, 2016

I like the interface and performance and it syncs seamlessly with my other devices, but I'm still hoping and waiting for Android Wear support. It would so much easier and time-saving if I could just look at the code from my watch.

Brice Bauer June 28, 2016

Good app Easy to use, but can we get the ability to add our own logos? I've got more other than anything else.

Masfik Network August 14, 2016

Doesn't even open. It keeps showing the Authy logo: there's no way to make it work. I tried everything, I even restarted my phone to check if it was a temporary problem but it's not. How can I access to my codes now?

Florio Alagna June 14, 2016

Best authenticator app on android. All of them work perfectly fine of course, but this one has a widget and backup sync (which enables you to use multiple devices), making it a must have in my book. By the way, could you add logos for skrill and TeamViewer? Or better yet, custom logos? Another awesome addition would be android wear support.

Pommes June 4, 2016

Crashes but necessary I have to reinstall it every now and then because it will not boot anymore. But it keeps my accounts safe, so I will continue that.

Félix P. July 7, 2016

Almost perfect Why not adding the fingerprint app unlock? Also, it could be cool to accept or decline a recent action instead of typing the code.

Derrick Davis June 14, 2016

This app works great! I love the simplicity and ability to use across multiple devices (a must for me) giving me the option to use any phone/tablet I have, as one could be dead or left at home/work. One request. PLEASE add Google Wear support! Most of your competitors has this now. Google, Microsoft, LastPass, even Symantec, etc

Anthony Alesia June 7, 2016

Fantastic It's so nice not needing to reset every time I get a new phone. The only thing it is missing is Android Wear support.

Matthew Kelly June 27, 2016

Great app Best authentication app around. The cloud backup has saved me twice now. I have a request though - can we upload our own icons/logos for services that don't have them loaded? Only a few of the services I use have a logo in the app.

Alan Holt August 31, 2016

Good product, but currently broken Cant open settings or add a new account without the app crashing. I can add new accounts through the chrome extension though.
