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

Don't like too much control. I am re rating this app. I have a problem accessing it to change my telephone number. Because it is connected to one of my accounts. I have followed all instructions with no results. Need it to change things on my account. It recognizes my email account but will not let me changey number, which i no longer have.Help

It's functional... That's about it. The app does support syncing across devices, including Windows, which is really the only major reason to recommend it at this point. The interface is clunky and awkward. There's no ability to sort your accounts in any way, and entries sort differently on different devices. Additionally, there is no ability to import or export your token information. Overall, it feels like this app is just languishing with no real updates or new features in years.

The app is pretty good all things considered. Its quick, easy to use, overall functional. HOWEVER, and this has been a big problem in my opinion, when i switched phones no matter what i did it would not take my backup password as corect when i knew for a fact it was. This could've ended horribly if my old phone ever suddenly died. The only way to fix it is to uninstall the app n install it again, which I had to find out through Reddit. Overall good, but weirdly really big n bad oversights
