Authenticator is the simple, secure way to protect every online account you own with two-factor authentication (2FA). Generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) right on your iPhone and sign in to the services you love with a fresh verification code in seconds — no more waiting on slow SMS texts or digging through screenshots. A password alone is no longer enough — that extra layer of verification is what stands between a leaked password and a hijacked account. Built for anyone juggling dozens of logins across email, banking, work, social media, gaming, and crypto, Authenticator keeps all your security codes in one calm, organized place. Whether you're turning on 2FA for the first time or switching to a new phone, it makes staying protected effortless. The interface stays clean, fast, and clear, with everything you need just one tap away. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Add accounts in one tap — scan a QR code and you're protected instantly • Manual setup with clear, step-by-step guides for sites that hide their secret keys • Automatic 2FA code generation with an easy-to-read countdown timer • One-tap copy so you can paste your OTP and log in fast • Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN lock keeps your codes private • Search, filter, custom icons, and themes to organize every account your way NEVER LOSE ACCESS • Encrypted cloud backup so you can restore your accounts on any device • Automatic multi-device sync in real time — set it up once • A recently-deleted recovery bin rescues codes you remove by mistake • Easy import from Google Authenticator, screenshots, files, or other apps • Import and export to move between phones with total confidence PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your 2FA data is fully encrypted, both on your device and in the cloud. Only you can unlock your verification codes — we can't see them, and neither can anyone else. Authenticator is not a password manager and never stores your usernames or passwords. It does one job, and it does it exceptionally well. WORKS EVERYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE Generate one-time passwords anytime — on a plane, traveling abroad, or with no signal at all. Your codes are always ready the moment you need them. WORKS WITH THE SERVICES YOU USE Authenticator is compatible with thousands of websites and apps, including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, X, LinkedIn, PayPal, Coinbase, Binance, Discord, Steam, Roblox, GitHub, and Dropbox. If a service supports TOTP-based two-factor or multi-factor authentication (MFA), it works here. A SECURITY CHECK THAT HAS YOUR BACK A built-in security check flags weak setups and accounts that still need 2FA, so you always know your protection is complete. Instead of guessing whether you forgot something, you get a clear view of where you stand and can close any gaps in a few taps. Tired of insecure SMS codes? Authenticator gives you a faster, safer, and more reliable way to sign in every single day. Two-factor authentication doesn't have to be complicated — here, it simply works.

Real or AI? Expose AI tells you in seconds — a clear verdict, a confidence score and the evidence behind it. Check any photo, screenshot or link, entirely on your phone. That dating profile, marketplace listing, news photo or viral post: check it before you trust it. No upload, no account — the image never leaves your device. NEW IN THIS VERSION • Deep Scan: two stronger AI models study 12 views of the image — less than half as many “Uncertain” verdicts as a Standard scan* • Region map: see where the AI signal is, and catch AI edits or pasted areas in real photos • Videos & GIFs: checked frame by frame, with one verdict for the whole clip • Find the source: look an image up on Google Lens, Bing or TinEye to see where it first appeared • Check a link: paste a post, page or image link — X (Twitter), Reddit, news sites, blogs — and pick the image to check • Paste from the clipboard, or share images, videos and web pages to Expose AI from any app • “Spot the AI” guide: 10 tells to check yourself, from hands and text to light and shadows • PDF reports (Pro): save or send a record of any verdict, with the file’s SHA-256 fingerprint • Now in English, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français and 日本語 HOW IT WORKS • Metadata check: reads Content Credentials (C2PA), XMP and AI-generator tags — an image that declares Firefly, FLUX, Stable Diffusion or another generator is flagged on the spot • On-device AI models, trained on the visual fingerprints of AI image generators, handle everything else: screenshots, stripped metadata, re-saved files • Standard scan: one fast model, unlimited • Deep Scan: two models × six views each, plus a nine-region scan • A clear call — Likely AI-generated, Likely real or Uncertain — and a “How we decided” card that shows which signal made it CHECK IMAGES FROM ANYWHERE • Choose from your photo library, paste, or share from Photos, Safari and social apps • Check a whole profile or listing at once with Batch (Pro, up to 12 images) • Crop a screenshot down to just the picture • Keep a private history of every verdict, and share a verdict card in one tap PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every scan runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, no upload — detection even works offline. Links are opened directly from your phone, like a browser would. Your history stays on your phone, and you can pause or clear it any time. FREE AND PRO • Free: unlimited Standard scans and 3 Deep Scans to start — plus one more for each short ad you choose to watch. Ad-supported. • Expose AI Pro: unlimited Deep Scans and region maps, Deep Scan on every video frame, Batch check, PDF reports and no ads. A NOTE ON ACCURACY AI-image detection is probabilistic — a signal, not proof. Results vary with editing, compression, screenshots and brand-new generators, and metadata can be stripped or faked. Videos are judged by their frames, so the newest AI video generators can slip through. When the signal is weak, Expose AI says “Uncertain” instead of guessing. Use it as one tool among several, never as the final word about a picture or a person. *Measured on 12,627 test images: about 10% Uncertain with a Deep Scan vs 28% with a Standard scan. SUBSCRIPTION Expose AI Pro is offered as an auto-renewable weekly or annual subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The exact price and billing period are shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.
