Authy

Authy is becoming a go-to choice for users who see the importance of two-factor authentication (2FA). With so many accounts to secure, it’s smart to use an app that sends you one-time codes. These codes can come from one or more devices, which makes your online security much stronger.

Why Choose Authy?

Authy offers a great alternative to popular apps like Google Authenticator. It works on multiple platforms—both mobile and desktop! Plus, it syncs across all your devices and has cloud backups for easy account recovery.

Synchronized Security

A big plus with Authy is its ability to sync your data across every device you have it installed on. This means you can use any of your devices as authenticators. Unfortunately, that's not something you can do with Google or Microsoft Authenticator.

Keeping Your Data Safe

Now, some might worry about having multiple ways for someone to get into their accounts. But don’t fret! You can use biometric security and PIN codes on mobile devices. Plus, if you're using macOS, a master password adds another layer of protection.

Desktop Availability

Many 2FA apps aren’t available for desktops, which is kind of a bummer since they're not exactly portable. But if you need that desktop support, Authy has got your back. It’s available on macOS, Windows, and Linux as well as iOS and Android. You can install it everywhere and sync your data without any extra costs!

Switching Made Easy

If you're switching from another authentication app, you'll find it super easy with Authy since it uses the same standards. You can add new accounts by scanning QR codes or entering tokens manually.

The Perfect Alternative

If you've found that Google or Microsoft's authenticators just aren't cutting it for you, give Authy a try! It's especially handy if you want to use several devices for receiving tokens. Plus, it's the only one that has a dedicated Mac app!
