Verity Authenticator vs Authik

Authenticator generates the two-factor codes that protect your accounts — and, just as importantly, it makes sure you can never be locked out of them. Add an account by scanning its QR code or typing the setup key, and a fresh code appears instantly. Codes are generated on your device using the open TOTP and HOTP standards, so everything keeps working with no signal, no account and no sign-up. REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION Authenticator is a subscription app. If a subscription later lapses, the codes you have already added stay readable — we will never lock you out of your own accounts. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH Most people only discover their authenticator had no backup on the day their phone is lost, stolen or replaced — and by then every account is locked. Authenticator solves that from day one. • Automatic iCloud backup, on by default — your accounts are mirrored to your iCloud Keychain, end-to-end encrypted by Apple. Sign in on a new iPhone and your codes are simply there. • Encrypted backup file — export a password-protected backup you keep yourself, secured with AES-GCM and 210,000 rounds of key strengthening. • No lock-in — backups are written as standard otpauth:// entries, so they restore into other authenticator apps too. Your data is never held hostage. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE • Tap any code to copy it • A ring shows exactly how long the current code has left • Face ID or Touch ID lock for the whole app • Hide codes until you tap, so nothing is exposed over your shoulder • Folders to group work, personal and finance accounts • Real logos for thousands of services, drawn on your device — we never fetch a logo from the internet, because that would reveal which services you use • Works with Google, GitHub, Instagram, Amazon, Microsoft, Binance, LinkedIn, Steam and any service that supports authenticator apps PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. Your secrets stay in the iOS Keychain on your device, and in your own iCloud if backup is on. We can never read them. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Authenticator Pro is available as a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel your subscription in Settings on your device after purchase.

Authik keeps your two-factor codes on your iPhone, behind a passcode and Face ID, and nowhere else. Every app that offers two-step sign-in gives you a QR code. Point Authik at it and the code appears in your list, counting down alongside the rest. No account to create, no sign-in, no sync service. Your secrets stay in the iPhone's Keychain and the app works entirely offline. ADDING AN ACCOUNT 1. Tap Scan QR Code and point the camera at the code. 2. Or pick a screenshot from Photos, or type the setup key by hand. 3. The account appears in your list with its six-digit code and timer. Codes are time-based (TOTP) or counter-based (HOTP), with SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512. Google Authenticator export codes (otpauth-migration) import all accounts at once. LOCKED BY DEFAULT Authik is protected by a passcode you choose, with Face ID or Touch ID to unlock. Choose when it locks: immediately when you switch apps, after a delay, or never. Optionally hide codes in the list until tapped. When you set a passcode, Authik gives you a recovery key. It is the only way back in if you forget the passcode — Authik does not keep a copy. WIDGETS Pin an account and its code shows on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, refreshing on its own. A Lock Screen widget opens the scanner directly. Pinned secrets are stored in the shared Keychain, protected by your device passcode rather than the Authik passcode — Authik tells you this when you pin. ORGANISE Group accounts into folders, search by name, and long-press an account to move it. BACKUP AND RESTORE Export all accounts to a single encrypted file, protected by a password you choose. Restore it on a new phone, either merging with or replacing what is there. The backup is the recovery path that survives a lost passcode and a lost phone — keep one. FREE AND PRO Free includes everything above for up to 8 accounts and 3 folders. Authik Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription — and adds: • Unlimited accounts and folders • Hide in App Switcher: blurs the app preview so codes never show in the switcher • Advanced mode: per-account digits, period and algorithm, plus QR export of any account Restore Purchases is on the upgrade screen. PRIVACY Authik makes no network connections. There are no analytics, no crash reporting and no accounts. The camera is used only while you scan; Photos only for the image you pick; Face ID only to unlock.
