Authenticator App provides a secure and convenient way for users to protect their accounts by adding an additional layer of security. The app generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) that are used in conjunction with a user's login credentials to access online accounts, services, and applications. With its simple set up process, support for a wide range of services and applications, and high level of security, Authenticator App is an ideal solution for anyone looking to enhance their security and protect their online identity. Features: -Easy to set up Authenticator App is incredibly easy to add a new account. Users simply need to scan a QR code provided by the service or enter a secret key, which generates a unique six-digit code that changes every 30 seconds. This code is then used as a TOTP to access the account. -Highly secure The app uses time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) to generate unique, time-sensitive codes that cannot be guessed or reused. Additionally, the app is protected by a PIN code or biometric authentication, such as Touch ID or Face ID, ensuring that only authorized users can access the app and view their codes. With these security features, users can be confident that their accounts are protected from unauthorized access and hacking attempts. -Password storage protection Password storage protection is a secure and convenient way to store and manage your passwords for various online accounts. With advanced security measures, ease of use, and automatic syncing, it allows you to keep your sensitive information private and protected from unauthorized access. -Password generator A random password generator is a tool that creates unique, strong passwords for online accounts. It generates passwords using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols, making them difficult for hackers to guess or crack. -Supports 1000+ Apps Authenticator App supports a wide range of services and applications, including Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Amazon, and more. -Backup and sync With Auto-Sync on, you can easily back up your 2FA accounts to your iCloud.

Clocking in and out of work should be the easiest part of your day - not a daily frustration. Every shift used to start with the same tedious routine: opening a slow workforce app, fighting through confusing menus, waiting for authentication, not even interfacing with your password apps very well, and tapping through multiple screens just to mark a start or finish time. Being disheartened by that clunky process day after day inspired the creation of OneSwipe. What began as a personal solution to eliminate daily shift headaches for myself has expanded into a powerful tool supporting major workforce management systems worldwide. OneSwipe transforms your shift routine into a single, effortless motion. Connect your workforce providers and enjoy the relief of swiping right to clock in and swiping left to clock out. If even THAT is a little too much for you, you can enable Siri shortcuts too - for a voice-activated clock in and out experience! Even simpler - if your employer engages with us to supply NFC tags, you can use Siri automations to make it a one-tap clock in and out process. Key Features: * One-Swipe Simplicity: Clock in with a swipe right, clock out with a swipe left. No multi-screen navigation, no unnecessary delays. * Multi-System Support: Connect and manage your accounts across major workforce and timesheet providers globally from a single dashboard. * Add Siri shortcuts for clocking in and out, for any provider. For example, "Start Shift" will fire off the connection process, and then also clock you in! * Clear Visual Status: Instant status illumination ensures you always know when your account is authenticated and your shift is active. * Seamless Daily Routine: Designed to remove daily friction so you can focus on your shift and get on with your day. * NFC tag integration: use Siri automations, along with a Siri Shortcut to streamline your clock in experience with localised NFC tags (if your employer supports them). * Privacy & Reliability: Securely stores credentials locally on your device with high-grade encryption - ONLY on your device. Safe and secure, your data is yours, always. We don't even record your individual clock in and out actions - they are purely relayed to your payroll and timekeeping system itself. Simplify your shift today with OneSwipe. If your employer uses any of the following systems, you'd be silly not to give this a go - see how it removes a little friction from your life. Well, for me, it removed a LOT. -- Currently Implemented and Tested -- Workforce Deputy QuickBooks Time Employment Hero -- Coming Soon! -- UKG (Kronos) Tanda Rippling A Personal Message from the owner: "Behind OneSwipe is a real person who stood in your shoes every single shift and built this app out of genuine frustration with existing systems. I am dedicated to your satisfaction and continuously improving this app. If you ever run into an issue, you want to request support for a new workforce platform, or simply want to share your experience, please use the built-in feedback function. Every message lands squarely on my desk, and I take pride in resolving issues quickly and expanding system support. I would love to hear back if OneSwipe has made your daily work routine just a little bit easier - but no pressure! Just enjoy using this app. I certainly do." *** IMPORTANT SUBSCRIPTION DISCLOSURE *** - Title: OneSwipe Annual Subscription - Length: 1 year (includes 14-day free trial) - Price: I hope you do see it like us, that for the price of a milkshake (USD $6.99) per year, you can so easily clock in and out of these above systems. - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
