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 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.

Ratings and reviews

Great app. Still I have a lot of sites and would wish that it's possible to sort (such as alphabetically) the list. Each connection seems to appear in the order in which it has been entered originally thus wasting time finding the right connection. Will update to 5* if/when this feature will be there. One more thing, in the list of paired devices, it would be helpful if there would be something more than just "android". Such as phone type / name

Seems to cover the majority of issues I had with other 2FA apps. Encrypted cloud backups for multi-device sync, ability to prevent further addition of devices, and an app lock that is not just my phone pattern. It's a bit complicated to understand all the features but they have a blog to explain everything. All the usual features like dark mode and one-tap-copy are already there.

Very useful. Great multi device syncing including Linux! Please consider make Linux available in flatpak or appimage. The snap package is slow to load. The interface concerning device sync and code backup I found a little confusing. I have not had the problems some reviewers have described so who knows? It's also free and has no ads.
