Authy brings the future of two-factor authentication to the convenience of your iPhone or iPad.
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 get 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 that banks and the NSA use to protect their information.
- Multi Device Synchronization:
Are you 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 device, this way you can authenticate securely even when in airplane mode.
- All of your accounts:
We support most major 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.

I would instantly rate Authy much higher but the lack of any UI options even the most basic makes the app experience terrible. I don’t have to use the app often on my iPads but it always makes me think why this version of Authy is so terribly neglected.
-Specifics- (In order of importance)
1. List View List View is (1 column by (X)rows) X is the # of however many 2fA accounts you’ve added. I prefer the custom order but you could get fancy and put a default sort option so it’ll load up as either Alphabetical, Chronological, Customizable. Honestly just adding this and ignoring the rest would be fine.
2. Icon/Grid View rework Icon view has a grid (6x3) using 25% of the screen the rest is empty aside from the token/icon/name which is the same size as the icons in the grid. The Bare minimum quick fix is make the grid section larger (6 columns by 6 to 8 rows).
3. Dark mode Support This app has no response to any system theme settings. It also doesn’t respond to global font size changes. The app only accessibility changes seem to zero impact.
