AUTHENTICATOR Generate one-time passwords (also called verification codes) to easily log in to your accounts that use multi-factor authentication. • Time-based (TOTP) and counter-based (HOTP) one-time passwords according to RFC 6238 and RFC 4226. • Automatic setup through QR code. • Manual setup possible for services that do not provide a QR code. • Unlimited number of accounts. • Support for Sophos UTM, Sophos Central, Google and any compatible multi-factor authentication. PASSWORD SAFE • Store all your account data in a KeePass-compatible password database. MANAGED MODE • Connect the app to Sophos Mobile or Sophos Central to allow your organization to monitor your device’s compliance status. INTUNE MOBILE THREAT DEFENSE (MTD) • Connect the app to your organization’s Microsoft Intune account to restrict access to corporate data based on the device’s compliance status. This requires Sophos Central. Web Filtering, which is available on supervised devices and when the app is in managed mode, uses browsing history data to block web pages with malicious, undesirable, or illegal content. The app doesn’t use browsing history data for other purposes.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iVerify Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iVerify Basic has 2.4K ratings behind it against 252, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Sophos Intercept X for Mobile's written reviews are positive against 42% of iVerify Basic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sophos Intercept X for Mobile ships an update every 2 months, iVerify Basic every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
