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

Jeeze, really bad choices on the new app UI. Now by default you can't see if the code is about to timeout. Only if you choose "Icon" view, which is not desired in the first place. And in the default list-view, the view is cluttered by codes from all the other synced accounts - a needless and pointless change - also introducing a security prob. It was great the way it was, no need to change, and nothing gained by the changes. Now it's kind of a mess. As an authenticator app it does work though.

UX update is rough. Too much information at once, difficult to find what I'm looking for, the "cute" look obscures important information. Another result of this: scrolling consistently triggers the edit/remove menu vs actually scrolling, which means I can't scroll with one hand. I don't need to see all the codes at once. I'm logging into one thing, not 30.

The updated user interface is painful to look at and use. And yes, dark mode is gone. Also don't like how swiping right proceeds to showing options to re naming or deleting your generated key. The second view option, eh. I liked how the previous view showed bigger icon pictures. Then you had to tap on the key, for it to show the generated key numbers. If there was an option to use the previous interface, I would be happy.
