Cody is an authenticator app that allows you to secure your online accounts. The app can generate login codes using two-factor authentication and also help you create secure passwords and check the security of your current ones. Simply download the app, activate two-factor authentication (often referred to as 2FA) in any online account, and then scan the QR code displayed. The login codes will then be generated automatically. The app can also help you choose a secure password. You can set how long your new password should be and which characters it should contain, then copy it to your account from the app with a single click. It also happens time and again that passwords are published in data leaks. If you use one of these, it is important to change it immediately. Cody also has a feature that compares your password with the passwords from the data leaks and shows you how often your password has already appeared in data leaks. What are you waiting for? Secure your online accounts with Cody!
