Operating systems: iOS, macOS ($5.99)

If you are an iPhone user who have read about andOTP and feels jealous of Android owners, we have good news for you: A cutting-edge authenticator app for iOS is also available. The creators of OTP auth clearly understand the problems of people who use 2FA in a lot of services, so this app features a system of folders for organizing token storage.

In addition, OTP auth allows you to view the secret key or QR code at any time for any token or export all of them at once to a file on the smartphone. The app also supports iCloud sync. Users can protect app login with Touch ID or Face ID, or use a separate password for OTP auth. We prefer the latter, given how easy exporting tokens from this app is. The only useful feature missing is the ability to hide codes.

Pros:

  • Ability to view the secret key or QR code of any token,
  • Ability to export all tokens to a file at once,
  • iCloud backup/sync,
  • Folder system for organized token storage,
  • Apple Watch support,
  • Configuration of code display format,
  • Access protection with password or Touch ID/Face ID.

Cons:

  • Exists only for iOS and macOS (and only as a paid version for macOS),
  • Inability to hide codes,
  • Icon customization available in paid version only,
  • Greater potential risk, because of ease of key retrieval, if the unlocked app falls into the wrong hands.

Summary
OTP auth is the most feature-rich authenticator for iOS, and it boasts easy, convenient token export.
