Features include: - Scan the QR code your issuer provides to automatically add your account. - Search your accounts by name to quickly find the one you're looking for. - Support for both counter-based and time-based one-time passwords with 6 or 8 digits using the SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 algorithms. - Requires no network or cellular connection and can be used in airplane mode. - All your account details are safely stored in the iOS keychain.
