Yandex ID is the updated app that replaces Yandex Key. It makes sign-in to Yandex services faster and easier. There are no passwords to remember or SMS messages to wait for — the app instantly delivers a one-time code or image. With Yandex ID, you can also manage all your account information, as it keeps all your data and settings in one place. INSTANT LOGIN WITHOUT PASSWORDS Sign in by entering a code or tapping an image — it takes seconds. No passwords, no SMS messages, no push notifications. Your digital key is securely linked to your account and can only be used by you. 2FA AUTHENTICATOR Yandex ID works as a secure authenticator with two-factor authentication (2FA) and one-time password (OTP) support. Use it to logging for services that rely on one-time passwords. If you have used Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator before, you will find this app familiar. Code generation follows international OTP/TOTP standards. MANAGE ACCOUNTS IN ONE APP The new app also works as a password and access manager for all your Yandex accounts. Manage your data, documents, devices, payments and permissions all in one place. You can share subscriptions, control purchases, set spending limits and create a secure child account with content filtering. BACKUP & RECOVERY Create a secure cloud backup and restore it using your phone number when needed. You can also save a local backup file to safely transfer 2FA accounts. Try Yandex ID, a single app combining a 2FA TOTP authenticator, password management and access to your Yandex ID account.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yandex ID at 4.6 against SAURES's 4.0. Yandex ID also leads on ratings volume (318 vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). SAURES's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yandex ID holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex ID has 318 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Yandex ID's written reviews are positive against 50% of SAURES's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yandex ID ships an update fortnightly, SAURES every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
