Amiibox is the best Amiibo collection app with the ability to add amiibo to your collection by simply scanning their NFC tags and writing those amiibo to different kind of NFC tags. The app works with: - All NTAG I2C Plus 2K NFC tags and devices - All NTAG215 NFC tags - Flashiibo - PowerTags - N2 Elite Tags - Other generic NFC reading/writing devices so you can quickly restore your backups easely. You can also import your own .bin files if you prefer to keep your amiibo sealed. BEWARE OF CLONE APPS: Amiibox is the leading Amiibo writing app and there are clone apps that copy our design and description. Their functionality is far from what Amiibox offers so make sure you pick the original app for the best experience! The app works with all amiibo ever released, including such series as Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Mario, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon etc. Please note that the recently released Kirby Air Riders and newer amiibos require NTAG I2C Plus 2K based tags or devices Keep in mind that Amiibox will always support every single amiibo released without updating the app - just like magic! Features: • Superior, beautiful and user-friendly interface • Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro apps to browse the whole Amiibo collection whenever you want • Owned collection with the ability to add new amiibo by scanning their NFC tags or importing amiibo from files • Get details like release date, unique id, collection and more from any amiibo • Learn about each amiibo benefits and usage in game • Global amiibo search • Add amiibo you are hunting for to your wishlist • Easy to use with NO ads or annoying pop-ups • Dark mode and support for Dark/Tinted Icons • iCloud Sync support for Favorite and Wishlist amiibo • Full offline support • Game Center Achievements Amiibox is built with privacy in mind. That means that no data is sent to developers or any other third party*. Amiibox does not send any amiibo data anywhere. Amiibox does not have any tracking tools in the app. All your amiibo data is stored privately on your device and only you have access to it. Note: Most iPads do not have a NFC chip so you can only browse the Amiibo collection on those iPads.

Otter 2FA Authenticator
Read full descriptionHide full description
Otter generates your two-factor authentication codes on your phone, from keys that stay on your phone. No account. No cloud. No server. Nothing to create, no extra password, nothing to confirm by email. Otter makes no network requests at all, and it cannot replace its own code after you install it. What you install is what runs. MOVING IN, AND MOVING ON - Reads the standard otpauth setup codes any other authenticator can export - Exports one encrypted backup file, sealed with a passphrase you choose - Import adds to what you have, or replaces it, and tells you which before it acts - The backup holds standard URIs, so it stays readable elsewhere if you ever leave WHAT IT DOES - Adds accounts by scanning a QR code, or by typing the key by hand - Generates standard TOTP and HOTP codes, as used by every major service - Groups the digits 3+3 and shows the seconds left, so nothing jumps as it changes - Copies a code with one tap, and clears the clipboard afterwards - Hides codes until you tap them, and can block screenshots HOW YOUR KEYS ARE KEPT - Every key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it touches the disk - The key that opens them is held by your phone's own secure hardware, behind Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN - A wrong PIN slows down the next attempt, and the delay survives a restart - Otter shows codes, never the keys behind them THE REST - Free. No adverts, no subscription, no in-app purchase, no paid tier - English and French, following whichever your phone is set to - Ten app icons, and a true black dark mode for OLED screens - No analytics, no crash reporting, no telemetry of any kind WHAT IT PROTECTS YOU AGAINST - A lost or stolen phone, locked - Someone picking up your phone while it is unlocked - Someone reading the app's data directory, or an unencrypted device backup - Screenshots and shoulder-surfing - A leaked backup file, without its passphrase - Silent tampering with the stored data WHAT IT CANNOT PROTECT YOU AGAINST - A rooted or jailbroken phone, or its memory read while the vault is open - A compromised operating system, or a compromised keyboard - Someone coercing you into unlocking it - A PIN or a backup passphrase that is easy to guess And the backup is the only way back. If you lose your phone without one, the keys are gone: Otter holds no copy, so there is nothing on our side to restore from. Export one on the day you install.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Otter 2FA Authenticator at none against Amiibox's 5. Otter 2FA Authenticator also leads on ads (none vs shown). Amiibox's advantage is device support (6 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
