Authenticator Pro (lm.ilyamikcoder.com)

Authenticator Pro - Free open source two-factor authentication app for Android. Has encrypted backups, icons, categories and a high level of customization. There is also a companion app for Wear OS.

TOTP (time-based) and HOTP (counter-based) authenticators are supported, using SHA1, SHA256 or SHA512 hashing algorithms. Mobile-Otp (mOTP), Steam, and Yandex are also supported.

Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of account security by requiring a one-time login code. In addition to a username and password, a code provided by Authenticator Pro is required. So even if your login credentials are compromised, your account remains secure.

Features

  • โš™๏ธ Compatibility: Authenticator Pro is compatible with most ISPs and accounts.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฒImport: Easily transfer accounts to Authenticator Pro from supported alternative applications.
  • ๐Ÿ’พ Backup/Restore: Authenticator backup with strong encryption. If you lose or change your phone, you can always access your accounts. Backups can be saved to cloud storage or on your device.
  • ๐ŸŒ™ Dark Mode: Authenticator Pro has a beautiful appearance created in material design style, in light or dark themes.
  • โบ๏ธ Icons: Easily find your authenticators with recognizable brand logos and icons next to each code.
  • ๐Ÿ“‚ Categories: Organize your authenticators by category.
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Autonomy with few permissions: Authenticator Pro requires only one permissionยน and does not need internet access.
  • ๐Ÿ”‘ Security: Set a password and use biometric authentication to protect your codes.
  • ๐ŸŽจ Personalization: Set icons and renaming. You can also arrange the authenticators in any order so they are easy to find.
  • โŒš Wear OS: Quickly view authenticators right from your watch. Note that a connection to an Android device is required. Also, distributions of the F-Droid app are not compatible with Wear OS as proprietary dependencies are required.

The app requires camera resolution to scan QR codes.

Authenticator Pro is currently only available in the F-Droid client via the IzzyOnDroid repository. You must first add this repository to the F-Droid client.

This just made me switch from AndOTP. Much better UI, awesome import capabilities, much more robust backup/restore. Thanks for sharing!

Nice to read this, thanks for the positive feedback.

Is this any better than Aegis?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has a compact mode with 2 columns that I find pretty neat. Otherwise, it's mostly the same as aegis with custom icons, groups, password and biometric unlock, etc.

Though it looks like itโ€™s missing Aegisโ€™ import capabilities (extracting with root)

I moved from Aegis to this, and it has been seamless! And for those who care, it has Material You theming, and most importantly, the WearOS app is stellar.

I think the app is fine but finally I continue to use FreeOTP+.
