FreeOTP Authenticator

Love the app, however I’m no longer able to edit or set custom images ever since upgrading to iOS 11. Now when it goes to display my gallery I only see the images for a brief moment before the page switches to a blank white page, though I do at least still have the navigation buttons to exit back to the main page. Custom images worked fine prior to the update and the images I had previously set still remain.

Although I have never used any other authentication app, I don’t see why I would need any features this one doesn’t have. I use this on an iphone 6s with ios 12 and it has never caused any problem for me. I have not tried to add any custom icons, so if that really isn’t working as some other reviews say, I wouldn’t know and I have no need for the feature. Unless I am not remembering correctly, this app is open source which makes it more secure than the overwhelming majority of other authentication apps.

Not a lot of bells & whistles, but, frankly, that’s the kind of software I like. Don’t complicate things with stuff I’m not asking for and don’t need. Free OTP gets the job done. There’s no cloud backup so make sure you keep backup codes in a safe place (I use my password manager).

Update 2019: I went to remove an account OTP from this app but it's not possible without deleting the whole app with removes all accounts. This problem occurs when you select edit and then tap the account you wish to modify. On my iPhone SE the dialog that pops up in response is non-functional and cropped off. I'll no longer use this app for OTP accounts. -- original review -- As mentioned by other reviews here this app purports to allow the user to add a custom icon for each site password but when attempted the iOS phone gallery appears for a second before disappearing again rendering it impossible for the user to select an image.

I have just installed this app on my iPhone 8. For some reason, the although the icon of the app shows up on my screen, and Ia am even able to open it, the phone does not recognize it. It does not show on the app list in configurations. It doesn’t ask for permission to use the the camera so that I my scan QR codes with it - which renders the app useless. I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall it, to no avail.
