If you get a new iPhone you are done…

Sorry but for me it’s not very nice to disable the possibility to back up my tokens in the apple cloud. Who the hell does backups and everything via iTunes this day? I don’t want to set up a new 1tb iPhone via iTunes! Perhaps this made sense in times of 64gb iPhones! But not now anymore! I will quit using this app and switch to something useful. What if I have two iPhones and two tablets? I just want to have it synced automatically and that’s it. I don’t wanna make 20 times 4 keys…

Open source, gratuit, sans pub, sur iOS

Parfait

Doesnt work anymore

As at 2026 it is not operational. Didntbwork but i used another app and it was fine.

How to export?

This is a great app that does nothing at all except display 2fa codes. All apps try to do everything. It is refreshing to see an app that does as little as possible.

A side effect of this is that it is not clear how to export the codes. Can the developer reply to this or email me and let me know?

I can handle complicated solutions like decrypting and dissecting a full phone backup if this is the only way. (but plz lmk where to get what)

Great, but with one improvement please!

If multiple Government Gateway IDs are created using the same email address and personal name, the Authenticator app displays all associated codes under that single name. This makes it difficult to identify which code corresponds to which company.

It would be very helpful to include an option to edit the display name or add an alias, allowing users to distinguish between accounts and select the correct code with ease.

Thank you for considering this improvement.

No longer working

Some of my MFA Codes are no longer working with Authenticator.

Doesn’t work at all on IOS 26

Been using this app for 2FA for years. Upgraded my phone to IOS 26 due to security updates no longer being available for IOS 18 and it turns out this app no longer works on IOS 26. It just shows a blank screen. I lost all my tokens which sucks.

Не устанавливайте это приложение

Очень грустно, телефон сломался, а на новом устройстве восстановить пароли никак нельзя. Очень не предусмотрено со стороны разработчика, так как у людей там могут храниться важные вещи

No easy way to port to a new phone

There’s no easy way to transfer the app contents to a new phone, even if you have them side by side. It wants me to do a full backup and restore from iTunes. Impractical.

Perfect

No limit or restrict the number of code as well as no ads annoyed user

Authenticator

I lost my old phone and I’m trying to login my old account(iCloud )
on new phone and there’s no option to do that

Is there a way to convert an existing one-time password to another program?

Synchronisieren

Programm ist OK
Wäre schön wenn zwischen IPone und IPad Synchronisierung möglich wäre

Does the job well

I don’t understand the 1-star reviews. The codes never failed me, and I’ve upgraded my phone with this app and had no issues in transferring… twice. Plus, the developer’s site says no data is collected. (privacy win!) Would like to see a biometric lock (face id/fingerprint) or password/PIN to open the app.

Export

Cant export to new phone

Sencillo y al grano

¡Una app que lleva funcionando 5 años sin actualizaciones!

Delete the application

Apple deleted my review. Here is one more attempt: this application doesn’t allow transferring of existing codes to a new iPhone using iCloud backups. It demands the backup via the cable, when it is already too late.
I have deleted the application with the greatest sadness. Thanks to the great design, I cannot use use anymore :(

Great!

Still works the day I first started using it, haven’t realised it hasn’t been updated for the past 5 years, no issues though.

Der beste Authenticator!

simple, smart, gratis, elegant, funktional top - nie einen anderen Authenticator ausprobieren!

Needs TouchID/FaceID

And it'd be nice if there was a way to export your tokens as new QR codes to put into another app.
