Othentyc keeps your two-factor authentication codes where they belong: on your iPhone. No account. No tracking. No servers. Every code is generated on your device, and every secret lives in the iOS Keychain — readable only on this device, only while it's unlocked. ADD ACCOUNTS IN SECONDS • Scan a QR code with the camera • Pick a QR code from your photos • Enter a setup key manually • Move everything over at once from Google Authenticator's export PROTECTED THE WAY IT SHOULD BE • App Lock with your own passcode, plus Face ID or Touch ID • Decoy vault: a second passcode opens a separate, empty vault • Hide codes until you tap them • Privacy screen in the app switcher • Copied codes expire from the clipboard after 45 seconds and never sync to other devices WIDGETS FOR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN See a live code with its countdown without opening the app. Showing codes in widgets is off by default — you decide. YOUR BACKUP, YOUR CHOICE • Optional backup to your own iCloud Keychain — never to an Othentyc server • Restore on a new iPhone with one tap • Export a backup file and import it anywhere you like DESIGNED TO FEEL NATIVE • Wallet-style card stack • Brand icons for popular services, or your own photo • Favorites, search and sorting • Light and dark mode • English, German, Spanish, French and Japanese Othentyc works with any service that supports time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), including Google, Microsoft, GitHub, Amazon, Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord and many more. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
