Conceal Authenticator redefines two‑factor authentication with true decentralization and military‑grade encryption. It’s the world’s first 2FA app that securely backs up your keys directly to the blockchain — no registration, no central servers, no single point of failure. Use Conceal Authenticator just like any standard 2FA app — scan your favorite services’ QR codes to generate secure TOTP codes — and take advantage of our built‑in, decentralized backup options. Recover using your Conceal wallet seed: simple, private, and under your full control. Key Features: Handles by default TOTP SHA1, 6digits, 30 seconds, and also SHA256, SHA512, 7,8 digits, and 60seconds. Local‑only mode — for those who wants to give it a try, before upgrading to blockchain backup. Decentralized blockchain backup — Your keys are stored securely and optionally automatically. Biometric security — Unlock with fingerprint, face recognition or password. Multiple themes, QR scanning, and Future code previews. Share access securely — Whitelist trusted contacts for encrypted 2FA sharing. Built‑in wallet — Access and recover with your Conceal wallet seed. Cost of a transaction (backup entry or permanently deletion) is 0.0111CCX per key. Whether you’re a privacy advocate, crypto user, or security‑minded individual, Conceal Authenticator offers a next‑generation approach to 2FA — decentralized, self‑custodial, and unstoppable. Note: To enable blockchain backup, a small amount of Conceal Network coins (CCX) is required. You can ask friends or family for some, or join the Conceal Network community to get started. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR SEED PHRASE WITH CREATION HEIGHT or EXPORT QR CODE, so you can regenerate your wallet and recover you 2FA keys when migrating to a new phone. Powered by the Conceal Network blockchain.
