### 2/5 — Add push notifications

*2026-03-20, version 4.7.0*

This app works as intended, but would benefit from having push notifications.

### 1/5 — Sloppy

*2026-03-15*

Doesn’t even offer a dark mode icon. Use Microsoft or Google Authenticator if you can.

### 1/5 — وشو له هذا كله ؟؟؟؟

*2026-02-19, version 4.6.1*

اعووووذ بالله تعذيب هذا مو تحقق

### 3/5 — Outdated logo and design

*2026-02-19*

Developers please consider updating logo and app design to moder standards

### 4/5 — Want Change registration to new mobile

*2026-02-18, version 4.6.1*

If I want to set up register on other new mobile how to do, seems 1 registration Authenticator only

### 3/5 — Face ID Issue

*2026-02-14, version 4.6.1*

App works well. Only issue is it seems to have a bug where if face ID is used twice quickly, the rsa code disappears and you have to wait a few seconds to trigger face id again to view it.

Example: face id to log into phone, then face id for rsa, triggers code to disappear if done quickly.

### 1/5 — Critical Face ID Bug – Needs Immediate Fix

*2025-12-05*

Please urgently fix the ongoing Face ID bug. The app does not allow Face ID to be enabled natively, and the only way to activate it is through iOS settings under Face ID & Passcode → Other Apps. Even when enabled this way, the app has a persistent bug: every time Face ID triggers, the token briefly appears and then disappears, taking about three seconds to reappear.

This should not be happening. It is essential to have native Face ID protection within the RSA app itself to provide an additional and critical layer of security. However, at the moment, there is no way to enable Face ID from within the app, and users are forced to rely solely on iOS system controls to secure access.

Please fix this issue or add an internal setting to enable Face ID directly within the RSA app. This is extremely important for users who depend on secure and reliable authentication. I have submitted this feedback multiple times, but it seems to be consistently ignored. I strongly urge you to address this problem as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Low Effort

*2025-11-17, version 4.6.1*

Doesn’t even have a dark mode app icon. 5 minutes of work is too much.

### 1/5 — Face ID Issue

*2025-11-12, version 4.6.1*

Fix the issue with Face ID. When it’s used the token disappears and you have to go out of the screen and back in just to get it to come back.

### 1/5 — Literally the worst Authenticator I have ever seen

*2025-10-16, version 4.6.1*

No further comments

### 2/5 — FaceID bug

*2025-10-03, version 4.6.1*

The faceid bug has been around for over 6 weeks. How can an app used by this many people for such important access be left broken for so long. Total and utter incompetence from RSA.

### 1/5 — No transfer to new device 👎

*2025-10-03*

Let’s start with the good. It looks nice and day to day haven’t had any issues. That’s it and if that’s all there was, I would leave a glowing review. HOWEVER, there is NO process to transfer to a new device. I got a new phone and have been working for TWO weeks so far to track down admins to take time out of their day to reach out to their institution to reassign soft tokens. VIP Access app was perfect with a short process, all was moved to the new device. If you have a choice in apps, choose the other one.

### 2/5 — What the heck is wrong

*2025-10-02*

Constantly selecting to display the number it flashes for a second and then disappears back to prompt screen…have to press view OtP another 10 friggin times before it displays again

Been like this for 2 months…I sick of it now

### 1/5 — Numbers didn’t display for ios 26.0

*2025-09-19*

Hi Team I recently updated my ios and the rsa app does not show the screen to token numbers. Please fix it

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-09-18, version 4.6.1*

Latest update extremely buggy.

### 1/5 — Hot garbage

*2025-09-16, version 4.6.1*

Every time you turn around they change the app and instructions on how to use it.

### 4/5 — Face ID bug

*2025-09-08*

Seems as though there’s some type of bug with the Face ID piece when requesting to view the token. Face ID is successful, but the token shows very momentarily and is hidden again. Have to tap the view token button a bit before Face ID is checked again and the token actually shows like it’s supposed to. Happens occasionally during the day.

### 1/5 — Pas serviable trop compliqué

*2026-07-22*

Un gros zéro pas serviable incompréhensible beaucoup trop de chiffres de code de tout!
Pas serviable 😡

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-06-24*

I’d leave negative stats if possible. Glitchy and doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Lost my account

*2026-06-15, version 4.7.0*

Updated the RSA app, and my token was gone. Locked out of my account.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-15, version 4.7.0*

My bank in Jamaica use this app and it is the absolute worst. I don't know why they would resort to this nonsense

### 1/5 — Not well integrated with watch

*2026-06-11, version 4.7.0*

This app notified my Apple Watch if an approval is needed but ignores my approval. In the end, I have to bring up the app on my iPhone and wait for the approval to show up again.

### 1/5 — جامعة الامام

*2026-06-10, version 4.7.0*

حذفته وابتلشت فيه الله يهدي الي فكر بهذي الفكره تطبيق سيء بكل المعاني كان خلو التحقق رساله SMS

### 1/5 — Bad security measure IMAMU

*2026-06-01, version 4.7.0*

This is another data breach waiting to happen again IMAMU

Fire whoever came up with this terrible idea. Imamu Cybersecurity team is a joke

### 1/5 — Worst RSA Token app

*2026-05-25, version 4.7.0*

I have never withnessed something having so many bugs and errors..and requiring IOS updates constantly not giving the user even ONE HOUR after an IOS update is issued time to install it. The app doesnt work every single week. Worst app ever.

### 1/5 — No Widget | No Face Authentication

*2026-05-22, version 4.7.0*

implement the following feature

### 1/5 — Such a bad app

*2026-05-15, version 4.7.0*

It’s incredible that this company is still in business. Look at this app and tell me it’s well designed and works well for 2026. This is 2010 technology and we’re paying for this? At least hire a designer and user researcher so it’s actually nice to use…

### 5/5 — جامعة الإمام محمد بن سعود

*2026-02-15, version 4.6.1*

حملته عشان تسجيل الجامعة المصادقة الثنائية اقسم بالله اسوا فكرة، شغل كثير على الفاضي وطلبات تسجيل كثيره لانهائيه على ايش مفروض حماية! اذا موقع جامعة معروف مو قادر يحمي نفسه مثله مثل اي منصة كبيره فهذا سوء إدارة منهم!!!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-09-29*

I keep getting a notice that this version of the app will expire in October. I hope an update is coming soon.

### 5/5 — Optimal

*2025-09-26*

Gute App hinsichtlich Security Nutzbarkeit und Transparenz

### 5/5 — RSA App

*2025-07-17, version 4.6.0*

I love this app.  It helps me get into all my applications so easily! I also have it set to auto launch that I just approve.  Thanks for changing the icon to read RSA instead of SecurID

### 5/5 — Reliable, fast

*2025-05-20, version 4.5.4*

Does what I want it to do every time. App is super lightweight so is quick to use

### 5/5 — Good MFA tools.

*2025-04-29, version 4.5.4*

The setup very straightforward for phones and notebooks.

### 5/5 — Tut was es soll

*2025-03-11*

Eine funktionale App! Leider ist der Umzug auf ein neues Geräte nicht so einfach (wenn man das alte nicht mehr hat)

### 5/5 — Love the support for passkeys

*2024-11-07, version 4.5.1*

I’m lucky to have passkeys enabled at my company. So nice to have this option and be able to manage my passkeys independently from the Apple platform.

### 5/5 — Works great. Please bring Apple Watch support!

*2024-10-11, version 4.4.0*

Works great. Please bring Apple Watch support! Grabbing my phone to generate OTP can be devastating to flow state (concentration).

### 5/5 — Outstanding app - provides a great authentication experience!

*2024-07-17, version 4.4.0*

Pleasure to use!
