- Fix counter bug on smaller iPhones

User reviews

Sophos OTP

It is RFC compliant and works with more vendors than the Google version.

Straightforward

Pretty straightforward app. The improvements I would like to see: 1) Graphical countdown indicator. 2) Ability to group the digits for improved readability (e.g., ### ###). 3) Apple Watch, app as I’m often without my phone.

Unable to scan QR code

Hi development team, my iPhone SE unable to scan the QR code, but my ipad works. Could you look into this issue? Thanks!

Small bug

Great little app that works with other accounts (not just Sophos). However, I think the new v1.4.1 has introduced a small bug on phones with smaller screens (iPhone 5). The count down expiration timer to the right of the pin code has disappeared. I discovered if you rotate the phone into landscape mode it comes back so I think it is just pushed off the edge of the screen while viewing in portrait mode.

Response from developer

Thank you for the valuable feedback! The next version will address this bug.

Sophos makes excellent products

This app does exactly what it’s supposed to do without cloud sync and completely offline (a good thing).
Four stars because I’d like to see the ability to lock the app with a PIN.
I’ve used Sophos products for 10 years. Great stuff.
