Bit4id Authenticator è l’applicazione che ti permette di abilitare l’autenticazione tramite codice temporaneo (One Time Password – OTP) ai sistemi Bit4id (che ovviamente accettano tale tipo di autenticazione). Bit4id Authenticator ti offre dunque un livello superiore di sicurezza nell’accesso ai sistemi Bit4id, mantenendo il vantaggio di utilizzare semplicemente il tuo dispositivo iOS come strumento di autenticazione. Effettuata un’apposita procedura di configurazione (operazione una tantum), tramite la app Bit4id Authenticator potrai generare dei codici temporanei senza bisogno di una connessione di rete o cellulare. Tali codici ti serviranno per autenticarti e utilizzare, in estrema sicurezza, il sistema Bit4id in tua dotazione. Funzionalità di Bit4id Authenticator: - Configurazione “una tantum” automatizzata (tramite QR code) - Supporto multi-applicazione - Generazione di codici TOTP (Time-based One-time Password Algorithm) Versioni di iOS supportate. 5.0 e successive

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Authenticator at none against QRKit's 3. Authenticator also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). QRKit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 34 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
