Authenticator App :2FA, MFA helps you protect your accounts with secure one-time codes. Add your services once, then use time-based codes (2FA / MFA) whenever you sign in, even if you’re offline. Scan a QR code or enter a setup key manually, and the app will start generating verification codes locally on your device. Use it for email, social networks, cloud services, finance apps and any other platform that supports two-factor authentication. When you switch phones or want extra safety, you can securely back up your data and restore it on a new device, keeping your 2FA setup under your control. KEY FEATURES Secure 2FA & MFA codes – generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for accounts that support two-factor or multi-factor authentication, with all codes stored and calculated locally on your device. Simple account setup – add new services in seconds by scanning a QR code or entering a setup key manually, with clear instructions on what to do next. Encrypted backup & restore – create a secure backup of your authenticator data and restore it on a new device when you upgrade or switch phones (using strong encryption for protection). Privacy & app lock – protect access to the app itself with Face ID/Touch ID or a PIN code, and optionally hide codes until you tap to reveal them. Organized accounts – manage many accounts at once with clear labels, sorting and search, so the right code is always easy to find. Fast access when you need it – quickly copy a code with a single tap and switch back to the app or website you’re signing into, reducing friction during login.
