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

Honestly a well done authentication. it doesn't give me much trouble at all to use, easy to edit incase of mistakes. Very Secure and quick to create one. Would recommend over using a phone number on sites that expose your number to the public. One problem I do have is the speed for a new code is a bit to quick, I have the ability to instantly have my code sent into what I'm doing, but I can't speak for others though and seems like a hassle since it expires if u don't make it in time. 👍

Very very useful app to keep your accounts secure. But for some reason, this app does not list the option to change my password. All previous versions gave me the ability to change my backup password. I wonder why this version does not provide me with the option to change it? On my other phones it gives me the option under the accounts menu. I w9nder what makes this one different.

So much better than Google Authenticator. I love that it synchronizes to all my devices. That convince does come at a slight security cost, as it opens another pathway for an attacker to possibly, but not likely, gain access to your 2fa. However, as long as you understand the risks and believe they are right for you, I highly recommend this app and service.
