Parasite software

Does nothing and begs for money

Been using for a long time and works great

Easy to use and everything. Haven’t had the issues other people mentioned.

Avoid! It's a sketchy shell of what was once good

A very, very overdue review, but I'd like to inform a story about how sketchy this app has become. This used to be a rather popular, open-sourced authenticator app, but 2 years ago, it was announced that Raivo was bought out by a third party company, and shortly after, an update had wiped the data of most, if not all of its users. Raivo's response from the now-defunct repository was that users should pay a subscription to restore your data with a backup, and that's if you had an iCloud backup at the time before your data was wiped and before that functionality was paywalled. This was then met with massive backlash within the community's discussions, and this prompted the open source repository's channels of discussion to be locked and then deleted (however you can still find evidence of this online through web archives and such). Nothing was done to rectify this after that occurred.
I was one of the lucky ones that had a recent local backup to recover my 2FA tokens from, but I can imagine many weren't as lucky as me. This app is, in my opinion, not safe to use given that history, and frankly I'm surprised it still exists here. There still seem to be updates to this app, but the repository's source code hasn't been touched in over a year; which means that this is no longer an open-sourced app as well. I can also imagine it's very aggressive about its donation-asking given the reviews here. This app is a shell of its former self that took a very sour turn, and I highly advise anyone reading this to consider better alternatives

never again walking without one

Bless

Lost all my info

Reopened the app and all my MFA with code accounts were gone!

Good solution, but nag donate screen

I’ve been using the software for years, and am very happy with it. What I’m not happy about is the donation nag screens, I’ve donated quite a few times inviting very recent, but those nag screens continue to pop up and quite frequently. As in every other day or so, it’s not right.

iCloud Sync not working

Switched to a different phone, logged in with master password, and my codes don’t sync. I reinstalled the app and it still doesn’t work. iCloud sync status says “up to date” on both phones.

Удобное, но требует догата

Удобное приложение. Использую для входа на разные сайты вместо звонков и смс. Однако в последнее время стало просить задонатить. Мешает.

丢数据

在更新系统后会丢失全部数据

Great team, great app

It's safe and convenient. The team reacts to reviews, I appreciate that

Thanks Raivo

I just lost all of my data.

Incessant donation prompts

Original developer sold this app, now it frequently prompts for donations, even if you have already donated.

Nags for donations!

Even though I have donated a few times, I’m getting the donation begging screen almost every time I open the app! It’s worse than the drug addict at the freeway exit with his cardboard sign! Just make it a paid app at this point!

Easy and effective

Love how it works securely

Heard good things

Gina give it a try. Need something more secure.

Deleted all data - do not use

I can’t believe this app is still available. After they had previously deleted everyone’s data without any warning. Do not trust the developers and do not download this app. Use an alternative. I am still experiencing issues trying to log into things that had my 2fa code saved with this app.

Looks great so far

Haven’t been using for long however looks great as far as I’ve seen

Nags for donations constantly

Might as well add an in app purchase to remove ads because that’s what they have done now with asking for donations. You said remind me later and apparently later is a couple days and then it asks again. I’ve moved on to other authenticatiors now.

Amazing

Ravio is actually one of the reasons I’m sticking with the iPhone, just unbeatable.
