Best 2FA app UI
00sena
I highly prefer this apps ease of use and UI to Google Authenticator and Authy. I wish it wasn't so easy to delete a token, and also that there was a possibility to save encrypted tokens to the cloud - but the lack of that is also this app's big selling point.
all function, no fluff

Simple, elegant, functional. Works well for managing all of my AWS 2FA stuff. Even the standout app icon makes it easy for me to spot the app on a cluttered screen.
Super easy!!! F Google's version

I was originally using Google Authenticator. Needless to say I wasted two days trying to authenticate a very important account. I thought that it was my account, but it was actually Google Authenticator that was garbage. I downloaded this app and it worked instantly without any issues at all! Five stars all the way!
Scary good

Simple. Secure. Easy to use. Something you know (your password) plus something you have (your phone + Authenticator)). Beautiful. But, don't lose your web site (of whatever site you're "2-factor" protecting) provided recovery code in case you lose your phone.
Apple Watch version??
Perspicacious
I would gladly pay for an Apple Watch version. Not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to get a 2-factor would be a huge time saver. I love it on my iPhone but please get it on my Watch!
Awesome no bloat

I haven't seen an iPhone app in a long time that wasn't 66MB+, this is only 559KB (at least it was in 2016, now it's a big bloated 10MB, never update!) I wish it DID allow for export, sometimes it's a pain switching phones and trying to get into a 2fa account with a new phone without the old one, think about it. I also carry two interchangeable phones iOS and Android so I like to export or see the keys to setup the other phone.
Great but needs 2 more features!

This app has a clean UI and is straightforward. What would make it a 5 star app is if it had a Notification Center widget and an Apple Watch app! It would make authentication codes more easily accessible on the lock screen as opposed to unlocking your iPhone and then opening up the app.
So much better than google auth

Just make sure your device backups are encrypted, and your codes should transfer when switching. Keep in mind with google auth, if you don’t turn off 2 factor for every account you have, you will likely be locked out of your accounts after changing devices.
Locked Out Of Account
Laurrel
I accidentally deleted an authentication number because I thought it wasn’t working. Since then, I got locked out of an account elsewhere because I failed to be able to authenticate myself with this app. I’m not very tech-savvy so this is super stressful for me. I phoned the website who said they couldn’t get me into my account unless I contacted the app directly and, guess what? I have no idea how to do that despite ages of Googling everything. This app has cost me a lot of time and money trying to get back my authentication.
