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

Very handy app. The low rating is due to the inability to migrate to a new device. There are several bugs related to, "I've exported my tokens but can't import them to the new device because it wants a password I don't have." It's not clear if the user ever setup a password in the first place. In short, there needs to be a mechanism to set the password on export. Related, the android "setup a new device from a previous device" feature does NOT copy over the key store so same issue.

Loved the app until this update. Problem now is the screenshots show custom icons for each token, but there doesn't seem to be any way to configure them in the actual app. It's way easier to find the right token by the picture than by text, so right now the upgrade is really a downgrade for me, because it was working fine in the previous version...

No way to backup your data. Don't use this app. The app is good but having no way to migrate to a new phone is unbearable, now I have to do some support tickets to get a new token. Use something that has not been abandoned abd that has the minimum amount of features. Ignore everything I said! MY BACKUP WORKS!!! 5 STARS!!!
