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.

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.
