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.

QuietOTP is a local-first two-factor authentication (2FA) manager. Every code is generated on your device, and your secrets never leave it in plaintext. ■ Supported tokens · Standard TOTP (6–8 digits) and HOTP · Steam tokens (5-character, identical to the Steam Mobile Authenticator) · Battle.net authenticator tokens · Scan otpauth:// QR codes, Google Authenticator export codes, and Microsoft-compatible codes ■ Import without a network · Camera scanning — images are parsed on-device instantly, never stored or uploaded · Paste a secret manually · Import a .maFile from SteamDesktopAuthenticator · Restore Battle.net with serial + recovery code, derived entirely on-device ■ Built for security · On-device encrypted vault, unlocked with Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint · Copying a secret requires a second biometric confirmation · Codes can auto-hide after a few seconds to prevent shoulder-surfing · Screenshots and screen recording are blocked so codes cannot be captured by malware · Recovery codes are masked by default and must be explicitly revealed ■ Encrypted backups, free forever Exported backups are encrypted with a password you choose and can be restored on a new device. We consider protection against data loss part of security, so this is never paywalled. ■ QuietOTP Pro (optional) · End-to-end encrypted cloud sync — data is encrypted on your device before upload; we store only ciphertext and have no way to decrypt it · Steam online binding — create a token directly, or run alongside the Steam Mobile Authenticator · Custom accent colours and pinned tokens Pro is entirely optional. Nothing local or offline is gated, and the number of tokens is never limited. ■ Privacy No ads, no third-party tracking SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no behavioural analytics. If you never register an account and never enable cloud backup, we receive nothing about you beyond a randomly generated anonymous identifier. Privacy Policy: https://legal.zrlx.tech/products/privacy-policy Terms of Service: https://legal.zrlx.tech/products/terms-of-service Subscription terms: Monthly and Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions charged to your Apple account on confirmation. They renew at the standard rate unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your system subscription settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not auto-renew.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: QuietOTP at none against Authenticator's shown. Authenticator's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
