Authy overview

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is the best way to protect yourself online. Relying on just usernames and passwords to secure your online accounts is no longer considered safe. Data breaches occur daily and hackers are always inventing new ways to take over your accounts. Protect yourself by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). This blocks anyone using your stolen data by verifying your identity through your device. Enable 2FA now to protect your accounts online. 

Enable 2FA

Easily capture 2FA QR codes from Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox and many more.

Access tokens
  • On any device. Your phone, tablet, desktop, even your Apple Watch.
  • Use TouchID, PIN protection and passwords to protect access to your 2FA tokens.
Manage tokens
  • Edit your 2FA accounts and control devices tokens are accessed from.
Works offline
  • You can still access secured websites without internet access on your phone.
  • Avoid SMS and voice security issues by generating 2FA tokens directly on the device.
Authenticate
  • Add new devices with SMS, voice or existing device approval.
Enable Backup
  • Encrypt your 2FA data and store it securely in our cloud.

Customer support: 1.0

phone app is great but the electron-based desktop app is non-performant. It just sits there and takes 2 minutes to respond to a click. V2.0 wasn't like this. 2.4.1 sucks.

Just received an email saying "On March 19, 2024, we will no longer support the Twilio Authy Desktop apps". 😲 I've been a happy Authy user for a few years, but not having a smartphone (yes it's possible 😉) means either abandoning 2FA or switching to an alternative. I've just installed the authenticator.cc add-on (Chrome, Firefox and Edge), I still have to recreate my accounts there...

If/when the download link throws an error, you can find a working Download link here: https://authy.com/download/ - - If/when that link button acts inert, reload the page. Their web code is a mess.

Very useful app to add a layer of security to your connections to Amazon, Dropbox, Facebook, Paypal, etc. If you don't know yet what is 2FA, it's easy to setup on those sites, then Authy is perfect.
