Twilio Authy

There are so many Authenticators that I had to analyze each. This one wins due to the ability to change devices and numbers. If you use google authentication you have to do everything all over and there is no backup with google authentication. If you have issues, contact them where they’ll give you steps to recover your account. It’s a bit troublesome in the beginning to figure it out and why it’s not working. You must remember that when you do it, you’re on a trusted devices. If you go into your emails section to “remove all devices” and try again, it’ll request the Authenticator. Which, is what we need. Next, be smart, write down your backup password so you can log back in. I’ve read the critical reviews and that seems to be an issue with their forgetting. Please note, it doesn’t work for yahoo because yahoo doesn’t have it and depend on the two step which can be a problem if hacked. Once those criteria are changed, your screwed because there isn’t support for lost accounts that ever help. They have their version but it’s a physical device that plugs into your machine, via usb, to continue. But that’s specifically for yahoo. At any rate, it’s pretty solid and this is old technology that should have been used years ago to prevent forgotten or hacked passwords.

Not the best graphics, or interface, app even feels a bit sluggish at times and the Settings section UI could be better. But this is the best “Authenticator” app available. The ability to have all your codes securely backed up, and synced across multiple devices, is great. Meaning, you upgrade your phone, and all your hard work is still available. You add an account to one device, you have access to it other places. I also can’t say this enough, love the Watch part of this. So convenient to be able to find my codes on my watch. Even without my iPhone I can still access my codes when I need them quickly. Might be my favorite part.

Thank you for writing An intelligent app and an option to the horrible POS Google Authenticator. I lost all my codes when I lost my iPhone because Google Authenticator doesn’t have any back up options. I see it as a huge blessing that I lost my iPhone due to hardware failure (Apples not making them like they used to😭). But huge win for me because I was just starting to use 2fa. If this had happened using the google Authenticator app it would have taken me 20-30 hours to try and reset all my accounts and I would have lost very valuable stuff as well😝. Google does search well but that’s about it😂 Thanks for the only intelligent solution currently available for 2fa! You guys are awesome!🤗

I’m very happy with this app overall. It works well, it’s easy to set up, looks nice, and most importantly: it’s secure. My only two gripes are the lack of landscape support on iPad and the speed at which the app opens. When I’m using 2FA on almost every site I’m on, I don’t want to wait 4 or sometimes 5 seconds to load up the app. I want it to happen instantaneously. Sometimes this app feels a bit bloated. I still prefer to use Authy over something like Google Authenticator, which is much faster, because Authy’s UI is better and it’s more fully featured. But even so, these two issues have prevented a 5 star review. I love that this app receives continuous updates so I’m holding out hope that this will be fixed in the near future! Still the best 2FA app out there!

Hey I really enjoy what authy is during. I just have one suggestion that I would appreciate if you can send the head of director of developer. After registering two steps Authenticator with some website, some doesn't show a logo on it. I recommend to have a option to select your own imagine. For example i register the two step authenticator with authy on my account with runescape; however, it doesn't show a logo relating to the game. It give only a option to the ones in your database. Instead of searching for ever website for the logo, let the user be able to select the image they want or if you can create a algorithm to do it. Thank you.
