OTP Auth adds support for two-factor authentication to your iPhone and iPad. It can be used with Dropbox, Facebook, GitHub, Google Mail and many more. Make your accounts safe again! Features: - Ads free - Encrypted iCloud Sync - Siri Support - Apple Watch support - Notification Center widget - Safari extension for pasting passwords into websites - Secure application using Face ID/Touch ID (or password) - Create encrypted backups of all accounts - Import/Export encrypted accounts using AirDrop, iCloud, Dropbox, Mail, ... - Works offline All data stored by OTP Auth is stored using strong AES-256 encryption. This applies for all data. In particular, for both locally stored data as well as data stored in the iCloud Drive (when iCloud Sync is enabled). The password for those files never leaves your device such that noone but you can read your data. OTP Auth does not collect information about you or send them anywhere. You won't be asked to allow access to your contacts or your location. And most important: OTP Auth does not connect to the internet and will not send your accounts to someone else! (Unless you enable iCloud sync where an AES-256 encrypted copy of your accounts is stored in your iCloud Drive. The password for that copy will never leave your phone.) Follow me on Twitter: @otpauth

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OTP Auth at none against 2FA's shown. OTP Auth also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (463 vs 41). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OTP Auth sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 2FA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for OTP Auth against 4.6 for 2FA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OTP Auth has 463 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of OTP Auth's written reviews are positive against 83% of 2FA's.
OTP Auth ships an update every 2 weeks, 2FA every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on July 22, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
