About

SafeHold 2FA

Read full description

We built the authenticator we couldn't find. Every 2FA app we tried wanted something in return — an account, our email, our usage data, or a hefty subscription just to protect a few accounts. Some buried basic features behind paywalls. Others felt abandoned, with outdated designs and missing functionality. We wanted something simple: a beautiful, private authenticator that just works. No sign-ups. No tracking. No compromises. So we built SafeHold 2FA. Why SafeHold 2FA? • No account required — start using immediately • No tracking or analytics — we don't collect your data • No ads — ever • iCloud Keychain sync — encrypted, secure, automatic • Works offline — no internet needed to generate codes Free Features: • Unlimited authenticator accounts at no cost • QR code scanning • Manual entry support • iCloud sync across all your devices • Folder organization • Biometric unlock (Face ID / Touch ID) • Password protection • Haptic countdown alerts • Auto-clear clipboard • Export your accounts anytime • Dark mode support Import Made Easy: • Scan QR codes instantly • Import from Google Authenticator • Import from images in your photo library • Manual entry for any TOTP/HOTP account Your Security, Our Priority: Secrets are stored in Apple's secure Keychain and synced via iCloud Keychain — the same encryption Apple uses for your passwords. We never see your data. Compatible with thousands of services including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, GitHub, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, Coinbase, and more.
