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

The UI needs to be able to display codes and accounts all in one page. It is difficult to find different accounts when they can't be sorted or only viewed 1 at a time. Frustrating to use. The application works well otherwise, across multiple devices and they have always stayed in sync and backed up! :)

Need to be able to sort your accounts (you can manually, but need automatic). Need to be able to export keys. Too many taps to add new accounts. But like that it backs up your keys. And love that they have a desktop app (it is a bit clunky, but gets the job done). Also like that it's separate from my password manager, which is why I'm using this instead of the superior LastPass Authenticator.

Easy to use, especially helpful for transferring to a new device. Just need to keep your backup password somewhere; this is important for moving to a new device. Only thing I don't like is the UI. It's ok in list mode, but grid mode (the default layout) should make better use of space. The top portion takes up way too much screen real estate in that mode.
