About

Pixplicity Authenticator

Features
Read full description

Made by the Netherlands’ most creative tech thinkers at Pixplicity, this app generates single-use password codes that you use in combination with a regular username and password. Fully compatible with the many platforms that support two-factor authentication or 2FA, such as email accounts, social media accounts, and more. However, only the Pixplicity Authenticator app securely backs-up your accounts, which comes in very handy in case you lose your device or buy a new phone. Using this app you can finally backup your accounts to your keychain, so switching to a new phone will be seamless. Never again reset 2FA on all your accounts when you buy a new phone! On the road map for future versions is the option to export tokens (of course, fully encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption and a strong password of your choosing), share them with team members, and full compatibility with our other apps. Stay tuned, and thank you for testing this early version!
