Seamless and Excellent 2FA App

I am still a bit concerned about the sync-ing and security aspect of my 2FA codes even though I really did not have any issues and have been using it for a while now. In today’s time you have to be vigilant what software you use and who made it due to security and things being in the cloud. Not a dig specifically to 2Stable but in general. I just want to emphasize here that you DO NOT have to use the sync-ing feature but it really is so well done and convenient that I’ve given my trust as I can’t live without it now. With this being said though, this is by far the best designed 2FA application I’ve ever used. It’s just seamless whether I use it on my iPhone or my Mac. I was surprised so many times even after using it for a couple of years now how smart the app is to fill out 2FA codes. Extremely well designed and works amazingly well. The only thing I’m saddened by is that it’s not available on Windows as well. I work on both PC and Mac workstations and I would pay in a second for a Windows version as well. Great job overall to 2Stable team. Keep at it, you have a winner here.

BEST 2FA & MFA app IMO 😍

Have used several different 2FA/MFA apps and also browser extensions in the past. This app has been the best for me personally. The only things I hope that will be changed in newer updates is the ability to have all the accounts listed in the widget on macOS. At the moment, I can only see 3 accounts, but that doesn't change my rating as the app does exactly as it was designed to do and function and I'm sure more features will be added. I want to thank the developer especially as this has helped me in so many ways.

Support fixed problem with M2 Mac

When I upgraded to an M2 MacBook Pro, Authenticator would not launch. I emailed support and they provided a Terminal command which fixed the problem. Now I am back in business. I really like the having an easy to use desktop app which syncs with my phone, although I rarely use the iPhone version since the desktop app is so much more convenient. Other than this upgrade issue, it has always worked great.

Exactly what I was looking for

This app is exactly what I was looking for: the ability to manage and sync authenticator codes with absolute security and without a lot of unnecessary fluff and requirements (like having to tie the account to a phone number). The interface is clean and intuitive. I've reviewed a bunch of authenticator apps and haven't found anything else that's comparable.

Excellent App but Limited Widget

The application itself is done absolutely brilliantly and is easily my favorite to use. First the good stuff: The UI is super clean and neat. It syncs to your iPhone and iPad. Click to copy. Browser Extension. Optional Menu Bar Icon and Widget. Everything "just works", and the entire design is fluid and intuitive. There are two caveats to this app that make it difficult to adopt for my use case: 1: The Wdiget is limited to only 3 codes, including on the Phone. Other applications use the "old" style of iPhone widget to give a much bigger list (9 in my case). Unfortunately I need that widget or my workflow will slow down. 2: The app does not support bulk importing/exporting of QR codes. Things would have gone a lot faster if I could have just dragged a stack of QR codes onto the importer rather than having to select them one by one.

Functional and secure, but pricey, and generically marketed

My first impression is, the "brand" or title of the product is too simple (read:generic). That branding isn't indicative of a solid, reliable, and security-minded solution it provides. I'm sorry, but it's hard to trust a generic name like that, espcially for $49/yr. Now, I know that the technology put into this isn't cheap, and the support should be solid, but I agree with those that have suggested a $20-$30 price tag. I firmly believe it would attract more buyers, hence, more widely used implementation, and thus, better discounts on infrastructure. My 2¢.

works flawlessly

I got this because of apple watch support, and that alone works great! You do need to make sure apple watch is connected to iPhone via bluetooth to ensure new items sync. Authenticator app on watch doesn't sync new items via WIFI / cellular, alone. I wish that would be fixed. Otherwise this app is amazing.

Great app, just needs a few touches

The few touches I would suggest would be: 1. Improve field detection in the browser extension. 2. Improve connection between browser extension and app, if the connection is the mandatory way to go. Sometimes the browser extension shows that the app isn't logged into or open in the background... 3. Provide this on more platforms. Windows, Linux, etc. and more browsers.

Finally! A 2FA desktop tool that actually works

I've tried about seven different tools before I found this one. It's exactly what I was look. It allows me to have my 2FA codes on my desktop. It has browser extensions to sync and auto fill. It's great. Totally worth the price in time savings alone.

new computer

when i upgraded to a new Macbook, Authenticator did not work. I emailed support, expecting a black hole, but to my surprise, someone got back to me within 30 minutes, and gave me a terminal command that would reset the app. Great support,.. thanks.

Exorbitant Pricing for a Basic App - A Missed Opportunity

The pricing for this developer's app seems excessive, at $50 per year for functionality that could reasonably be offered for $20. Fortunately, there are alternatives like the built-in two-step authentication in Safari, as well as free options like Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. I'd be willing to pay $20 for this app, but the $100 or $50 per year pricing feels overly greedy. Such pricing practices can cast a negative light on developers in general and disappoint potential users.

Can't log-into app on multiple devices.

Kind of pointless to not be able to log into the app on any other devices other than one, i have it on my macbook pro but cant use it on my macbook air nor iphone nor ipad. dont recommend. Edit: Got a new macbook M3 and doesn't even open the app, deleted & redownloaded still doesn't open, still no way to use the app across multiple devices, regardless of doing what their tech team said, avoid.

2FA that doesn't lock me out if my phone dies

When activating 2FA on an account, I knew that I'd be safer from attackers, but I was always worried that I'd get locked out if my phone died for whatever reason. With this desktop app, I feel much safer.

Danger! Very damaging

Installed on up-to-date Mac. Set up Authenticator password. Copied, pasted, compared, and verified password. Set up many accounts. Worked great for three days. Then wouldn't accept my password. Now I am locked out of all my most important websites and accounts. I wote to author, pleading for help, but no answer. My web services refuse to unlock my accounts. They say I need to close my accounts and start new ones. I must move funds, establish new relationship with companies. Beware!

Best authenticator available

I particularly enjoy the sync feature. I've got OTP accounts that I need to access both on my Mac and my phone, and it is incredibly valuable to be able to sync the codes across devices.

Awesome App!

So happy there's finally an autenticator app that syncs and you don't lose your info when you upgrade your phone! There were some initial bugs that I noted when I first downloaded, but the developer fixed them with the next update!

Quick & Seamless

I lost my phone a few weeks ago.. this app has become a life saver when you need to authentic accounts quickly.

The only authenticator you need

Super simple, super clean, super secure, and syncs to all devices via iCloud (never get hardware locked out of your accounts!). This is literally the only authenticator app you need. Highly recommended

Seems like a great app

Just started using it, but it's really simple to setup and I like that I can have my 2FA codes accessible from anywhere (desktop, laptop, phone)

I've tried them all....

I have tried pretty much every authenticator app and this is by far the best. Ever lose your phone or have to get a replacement from Apple under AppleCare and you lose all your codes? It's a royal pain in the a**... With this app you have everything backed up to iCloud or on your computer or iPad so you never have to deal with that nightmare. Quit thinking about, just get the app and thank me later...

Really enjoy this app over others.

Price is well for this app, but the UI is easier for me than other apps, which is why I got this app instead.

Absolutely Love this app

I absolutely love this authenticator, love the cross compatibility between my iPhone, iPad and Mac. I also really like the ability to save my previously registered codes. Such a time saver.

Nice app, the price though

Its a nice app and all but even with the extra "Features" the developer states its not really worth $10 a year. $10 or even $20 perpetual sure but yearly not so much. Looking at Step Two which is perpetual but no import for Google and I have over 20 accounts.

Works great. Backups have been solid and all of my accounts come right back as I move to new phone and laptops. No issues at all.

Not working with Apple M2 MacBook Air

The app does not launch with my MacBook Air M2 running Ventura (any version). Launching the app just produces a short "blink" on the screen. No process is running in Activity Monitor. The Safari extension works but can't pair since the app does not launch. This has been reported to the app author before, still not fixed.

Seems to work as advertised

Imported a few accounts successfully from another authenticator app.

Surprisingly Smooth and Apple-esk!!

I am very surprised with how well integrated this app is within the Apple ecosystem; I love that my 2FA accounts are backed up on iCloud and synced across all of my Apple devices. Super, super, super cool!!!

Best in Class

This MFA app is so fantastic that I immediately became a premium user. Their support, should you ever need it, is super helpful. But the app is lightweight and just simply works. Thanks to the devs for nailing it!

Easy to Use

It just works and is seemless across devices. Wish my poor desktop could use ;(

3 days and suppport hasnt responded.

I was very excited to use the app with my iPhone and Mac Pro. I purchsed the lifetime membership and right away i was having issues. I followed the help guides, but still could not get my iPhone to sync with my Mac Pro. I sent a support email but 3 days later no response. At this point i just un-installed the app and left very dissatisfied..

Too complicated

You can't just use a Safari plugin, you have to open a desktop app. Syncing with icloud is confusing. There seems to be no way just to back up the data as a text file. And you have to pay for it.

Very intuitive and simple to use

Good option if you are looking for a way to keep a backup of you OTP.

I would rather use Authy

This application only allows you to add two accounts before forcing you to upgrade to their paid option. Completely useless as I can use Authy authenticator or any other authenticator and add unlimited accounts. If I didn't need this for work, I would've deleted by now.

Great 2FA authentication app

Easy to use and to add 2FA items. The synchronization function makes it great for multiple device access.
