### 2/5 — not good

*2026-08-06*

too busy to erite now
they wasted my time with a popup…

### 5/5 — Excellent free authenticator with rare desktop support

*2026-07-08, version 4.3.2*

We’ve been using Zoho OneAuth for about two years, and it has been excellent. One of its biggest strengths is desktop 2FA support, which is surprisingly rare when most authenticator tools focus only on mobile apps. That has made a real difference in day-to-day use. It’s also simply impressive as a free tool: reliable, practical, and well worth trying. We also appreciate Zoho as a company and respect its broader mission, especially its efforts to build opportunities outside major cities and help young people from smaller towns enter the tech world.

The app does have a bit of a learning curve at first, especially the UI, but it’s worth the initial effort. We also make it a point to back up our codes every month or so from a mobile device to secure storage, which we’d recommend as a good habit anyway. One small frustration is its integration as an Apple-authorized provider for Verification Codes in AutoFill & Passwords on iOS; whether that issue is with the app or with Apple’s feature itself, it rarely works reliably for us. Even with those drawbacks, we would highly recommend OneAuth to anyone willing to invest a little time upfront.

### 5/5 — Best

### 5/5 — What time is of the essence?

*2026-06-26, version 4.3.0*

I have no time for this validation time wasting stuff anything that moves me down the field faster is better because time is of the essence

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-06-21, version 4.2.9*

Great 👍

### 1/5 — Company deleted encryption keys, cut my email & ghosted me leaving my business inoperable. SCAMMERS.

*2026-06-12, version 4.2.8*

Company deleted encryption keys, cut my email & ghosted me leaving my business inoperable. SCAMMERS.

### 1/5 — The links don’t work. I don’t get the push notifications

*2026-06-12, version 4.2.8*

Frankly if I wasn’t already vested in this program I would change. It is so hard to use a different computer. It’s bad.

### 1/5 — Bad Security

*2026-06-09, version 4.2.8*

Security is backwards, and backup codes expire.

### 1/5 — Way more trouble than benefits

*2026-06-08, version 4.2.8*

I wanted to get rid of the 2sv, but this takes much more effort.

### 1/5 — Terrible-

*2026-06-08, version 4.2.8*

Most complex and awkward MFA app I’ve ever come across. No intuitive, no push notifications, impossible to login. Make me want to change CRM

### 1/5 — Not easy

*2026-08-26, version 4.3.4*

### 1/5 — Garbage

Hardest tool I’ve ever used to authenticate… anything

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-19, version 4.3.4*

This app seems to be very poor, somehow on day 2 push notifications stopped working and it says I’m not logged in to the app, even though I am. Also only one mailbox works and the others doesn’t, probably need to use another service

### 1/5 — Not load

*2026-08-13, version 4.3.4*

The wheel just spins and never authenticate my app

### 1/5 — Nightmare

Hate this system. I go round and round every time I have to use it. Simply hate it

### 1/5 — Logged after Update

*2026-07-20*

It logged out after update, now i need to login zohomail on other device it showing number prompt to be accepted on phone but there there is no prompt as authenticator logged out. Password and backup codes i dont have so may never switch my zoho mail to other device. Thanks for making such wonderful apps.

### 5/5 — Zoho Authenticator

*2026-07-25, version 4.3.2*

Love the app real smooth with no problems with it

### 5/5 — Can’t get into my ZOHO mail

*2026-07-23, version 4.3.2*

I’ve been trying to get into my Zoho Mail but whether it’s the number that I click on in my phone to get my PC working or scan in the QR code it’s not going to my email box

### 5/5 — Used it

*2026-07-22, version 4.3.2*

It works

### 5/5 — Authentication How it’s supposed to be

*2026-07-12, version 4.3.2*

Having used many authenticators it’s nice to see one that works so smoothly, specially signing into Zoho’s own apps. It’s a lot like Microsoft’s system but it actually works!

### 5/5 — .
