Authy

Authy is a Windows application that allows you to use your PC as a two-factor authentication element. It is possible to request additional one-time codes to confirm login. A large number of services and applications are supported. A backup function is built in.

Accounts

To access the functionality, you need to specify your email and phone number. Then a panel for adding accounts of third-party services will open. You can add accounts of different types - cloud storage, email services, social networks, and so on. To bind an account, a special code is used, which can be obtained in the personal cabinet of the corresponding site. The list of already added resources can be viewed at the bottom of the window.

One-time codes

To log in to an account using the new scheme, you must specify your password and login, after which the application will generate a one-time code for additional identity verification. This noticeably increases the level of security, as an intruder will not be able to gain access even after the main password has been compromised. This technology has been used for quite a long time and has proven its effectiveness. Using third-party applications to obtain an additional confirmation code dramatically complicates account hacking. Such codes have a limited validity period and quickly become invalid. The function of data synchronization between devices is built in. It allows you to use the service on computers and mobile devices. As additional protection, it is recommended to activate a password for access to the program itself.
