FreeOTP Authenticator

About this app

FreeOTP adds a second layer of security for your online accounts. This works by generating one-time passwords on your mobile devices which can be used in conjunction with your normal password to make your login nearly impossible to hack. These passwords can be generated even when your phone is in airplane mode.

FreeOTP works with many of the great online services you already use, including Google, Facebook, Evernote, GitHub and many more! FreeOTP also may work for your private corporate security if they implement the standardized TOTP or HOTP protocols. This includes great enterprise solutions like FreeIPA.

Ratings and reviews

Used this app since early v1.x and glad to hear that backup and restore was added. This is a must to keep you tokens safe on another device. Unfortunately this feature is broken. I can only export a fixed number of tokens and any extras are truncated in the file. Not good! I even used SmartSwitch to copy the application. Only a few tokens were restored. Bad news. If this is not fixed will have to move apps. Try restoring on another device to check. Better safe than sorry.

Great app, been using it for years. Just works, with no account, cloud or intrusive nonsense. Newer version of the app improved the UI and finally added the ability to export / back-up your OTP data (again, without forcing it into someone else's cloud), which was the only significant function missing previously. Couldn't be happier :)

Ad-free and open source. Things that could be improved: Automatically display the next OTP code when the timeout of the current one when opening a token is very short. Also, allow skipping initial password prompt in case one never wants to export all stored secrets later. Permanently disabling backup by not entering a password would be a feature I would like to use. Pro-tip: as a backup, every time you add an OTP code you also print out the QR code and store it in a secure location.
