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

When did they stop caring? After nearly 10 years of use, Authy STILL does not support sorting by name or date!! This is basic functionality in every app that lists items..except Authy. You can drag-and-drop, but it takes forever and has to be maintained regularly. There's a search filter, but it's much more work than just scrolling and tapping. They found time to add crypto nonsense features, but not this? I'm fed-up. A very long fall for Authy.

My only frustration is as more apps move to 2factor. It gets difficult dealing with so many codes. So it would be nice to have an A-z Directory and auto sorting mechanism for the list and grid mode.. as well as retaining memory of your ordering of accounts. I had moved by hand all of my accounts into alphabetical order. But once I transferred my account to a new phone. They lost their ordering which was really frustrating... Otherwise a great app for 2 factor.

Overally, I like Authy. I realize that there is a small risk of exposure of my secrets due to storing information "in the cloud," but the tool is too useful to go without. I do have one gripe: It keeps on insisting that I turn on notifications. I don't >WANT< notifications, that's why they're turned off. The customer knows how they intend to use the app, don't force your way of doing things on them.
