## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 1.9.1 doesn’t work

*2024-09-19*

This version doesn’t work. Everyone on my team who are using iPhones and upgraded to this version get “account not found” error during MFA push. Android works just fine.

### 1/5 — ChickenSh**

*2023-07-01*

You download the app because it says it's free and then you find out you have to download an app on your phone and it's 50 freaking bucks a year! That is what we call chickens**t

### 1/5 — Almost works

*2022-12-08*

Doesn’t work at HQ. Too far removed from cell signal.

Every morning I boot. Have breakfast. Do the dance with the nonfunctional token push. Duo used to work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-05*

Installed to replace Krypton. I get the registration request to my phone from websites but website doesn’t respond when I accept 

Doesn’t work on google, GitHub, 1Password, Twitter.   Krypton worked perfectly on those.

### 1/5 — Mac user

*2022-05-04, version 1.0.2*

Doesn't work.

Says on App Store it'll work on my Mac but once installed and runs just opens a dialog box that asks "Quit and Open Safari Extensions Preferences" 
Click on the button and it just reopens dialog.
Open Safari manually, open Preferences then Extensions
Still won't work

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Google

*2022-02-22*

Installed to replace Krypton which was acquired by Akamai, but it doesn’t work with my Google account. The UI/UX is lack luster compared to the older app. I’ll stick with regular TOTP until I get a hardware key.

### 2/5 — It’s had an unfixed bug for years

*2025-05-21*

When you factory restore your iPhone, the previous account will still show up but with question marks instead of a code. That account can’t be deleted. It freezes the whole app and new notifications will not come in. It’s amazing that since the app’s creation the bug has been there and nobody cares to fix it.

### 3/5 — No backup code option

*2023-09-04*

I don’t see a way to use a back up code if I ever loose my current device

### 3/5 — Not working with GitHub

*2021-06-17, version 1.1*

I was able to set up the security key with GitHub, but when I subsequently try to use it for authentication I get errors.

Nice to see the Krypton service reborn though.

### 5/5 — Help

*2026-07-06*

Show do I use this to log into my acct with it as like with Fido’s app

## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Most efficient & fast MFA

*2023-06-30, version 1.8.2*

Good performance

### 5/5 — Smooth

*2022-03-17, version 1.4.2*

Nice and smooth experience!

### 5/5 — Passwordless is the future.

*2021-11-19, version 1.0.2*

1. Stop MFA bypass attacks with the most secure standard for multi-factor authentication (FIDO2).
2. No more clunky physical security keys.
