Verify gives your accounts an additional layer of security by requiring two-factor authentication (2FA) of each login attempt. With this feature enabled, users will need to provide their password and a time-sensitive verification code generated either in the app or via push notification. Verify can also supply users with a set of single-use passwords that can be stored locally on their phones should they ever need to circumvent an issue with their main 2FA method. Features: - Instant setup via QR code - Supports multiple user accounts and platforms, including Amazon, Facebook, and GitHub - Generates time-sensitive verification codes and single-use passwords either in the app or via push notification - Unlimited account support
