This is the only otp auth for ios

Simple, has every feature you would need. Easy to use, can backup. Its perfect. This is the one to use, not some other limiting application from the usual suspects.

Wonderful app, but possibly abandoned?

This has been a fantastic app for many years. However, with the lack of updates, I am reluctant to use it. Is this app abandoned? I truly hope not, but understand if so. Thanks either way for making a great app!

No App Support

No response to multiple requests to support re password reset for the app. If you use this app you’re on your own.

Stay Away

Watch complications are broken and the Mac app can’t pull your cloud sync effectively making it broken. If you’re only going to use this on your iPhone, you’ll be ok but you’re much better off finding another app. This dev is MIA

Passwords doesn’t work even though I put correct passwords.

Good job, now I couldn’t unlock it even after I change the passwords again and again AND again. Please fix and know better.

Worse since iOS 18

Been using this for years. Whilst I'd appreciate a bit of maintenance to shave off some rough edges, this is probably still the best OTP/2FA app. Example: since iOS 18 copying codes from the widget doesn't work reliably.

Decent

This app is only free for iPhone and iPad; Mac costs money. Has a limited amount of favicons available without paying.

Other than those two big caveats, this app is great. But it’s 2025, and all functionality should be free. See Apple’s Passwords app, or Proton Authenticator.

Great app

Been using this for years. Whilst I'd appreciate a bit of maintenance to shave off some rough edges, this is still the best OTP/2FA app.

#1 Top Rated Best Authenticator App!!

I have had no issues with this authenticator 💯👍!!!
The app seems very secure with the 2FA features it includes and also seems to not collect any data when downloaded so it has built in privacy when I download it.
It's design seems great for what is free on iPhone and Mac app you get what you pay for to have it like the same iPhone concept, I been using this as my preffered authenticator instead of Google or Microsoft authenticators and others etc. I enjoy using this app and have been for about 3 years or so. A legit actual wonderful app on the app store!!!

Lure you in with a free mobile app

As per the title they lure you in with a free mobile app but the desktop app is £5.99. I have used the "Show Secret" function to export my accounts to the new Apple Passwords app which is free on mobile and desktop, with the added benefit it auto fills the 2FA on most sites.

If Steve Gibson likes it

… so do I. Clean and functional. Sync across devices is great. I also like Face ID every time I open the app.

It’s simply works. Export is my fav feature

What I look for in these security apps is how easy I can transfer my data out if things go wrong. I love that this saves the QR code from the MFA

Suggestion:
1. Can you change name of the app it’s too generic? search engines can’t point me to FAQs or git pages. Barely found it on the App Store.
2. Can you add a button to manually refresh the widget faster? Mine takes a while to refresh. Thanks

Widgets are broken

Generally quite a good app, unfortunately the widget refresh and copy to clipboard feature is broken in iOS 18

Suggestion

Love this app, been using it for years. Please add OTP autofill feature so we don’t have to hop back and forth between apps when logging in. iOS can see this app to set it as the default OTP app but I still have to copy the codes manually

Fix your widgets

It tells you that the 2FA code is copied once you click the widget but nothing is copied and there’s nothing in the clipboard to paste. So unbelievably ridiculous for an app that is paid. Latest update 11 months ago? What a thief.

LOVE it!

Outstanding app!!

Especially love that it supports the watch — no digging out the phone.

And (on the watch), if you tap the entry you’re interested in, it’s magnified — great for old eyes!

Okay except for annoying bug

It won’t sync across iCloud when you create an Auth code on your iPad. Deleting the app and signing back in doesn’t work either.

Simple and effective

Very simple and effective OTP app that just works without worry about vendor lock or data leakage.

Easy to use, not easy to change password

The app is great, and easy to use but the process for changing the password needs improvement. Any security conscious user will likely be using a password manager with long, unique passwords. In order to change passwords in that case, it is necessary to switch apps briefly to after you paste the old password, in order to copy the new password. However, the moment you switch apps and return back to OTP, the UI resets to the main screen and the password change process is lost. This requires users to painstakingly type the entire new password manually from some other source (laptop or written) in order to complete the process. This is a design that discourages users from rotating passwords (I had to after a security breach of my password manager)

Simple and effective

Why can’t other devs make their apps simple to use and very effective like this dev did? This app does what it says it will do and does it well. And the dev isn’t trying to nickel and dime you with IAP. I truly like it.
