  • I like it

    Simple, intuitive, clean interface and easy to use and manage many tokens.
  • Clean and easy to use, just wish there was a watchOS app.

    Love this app… Very easy to use. I got rid of the Google Authenticator app because I found it incredibly slow and cumbersome. This one fits the bill perfectly. I just wish there was a companion app for the Apple Watch so I could use it from my wrist.
  • Perfect companion for two-factor authentication

    It just works. Very intuitive interface, and the price is right.

    Highly recommended.
  • 5 Stars

    Simple design and open source, what’s not to love :-)
  • Thank you

    Working perfectly thus far!

    Thank you for the free and open source contribution.
  • Good as long as you don’t switch phones

    I liked this app until I got a new phone. I then learned that they don’t back up the accounts. It’s not saved to cloud. It’s only saved on the phone it’s being used on. I don’t have that phone. Now I can’t log into multiple accounts because they require codes from the authentication app on the phone that I no longer have. Not happy.

  • The second-most important app on my phone

    Works great, minimal interface. I do think there needs to be some mechanism to export/backup secrets because so many accounts rely on this app working.
  • Best

    Great. Simple. Clean. had to download another authentication app because it specifically asked for that one and i’m glad this one was my first choice to begin with
  • Simple, maybe too simple?

    Provides a brain dead interface which is a good thing for this type of app.

    The lack of “Internet” backup is a security feature, cool. As the developer says the keys are stored in the iOS key chain and follow normal protocol for backup that would seem like best practice. One needs to understand the limitations of cloud storage relative to keys and the inherent need to back up the device “locally”, which has its own risks. The act of having two devices with these encryption keys is verboten in this model because the keys and the device are viewed as indivisible. If you have they keys, you must therefore have the one and only device that has them (or have an encrypted backup and know it’s pass phrase).

    As for the user interface, Noob/NoOp could fail to put a passcode on their phone, lol. If we were going to secure Grandma, despite her best intentions to the contrary, we might default to use of an app level Authentication Password, PIN, Touch/Face. Many apps allow this as practically speaking someone may let grand kids use their phone occasionally.

    Hope it supports iOS 12.x token integration.

    BTW, thank you for this clean app! I’ll have a look at the open source for sure.

  • Best Authenticator and it’s FOSS

    This project is free and open source under the MIT license! I’m so happy that the best option also preserves my digital freedom. Thank you so much!
