Authenticator - Happy Two-Factor Verifying! Features and Description

1. Authenticator is a native and modern Windows app that generates one-time password (i.e. TOTP security tokens defined by RFC 6238) that can be used with the two-factor verification of so many popular Internet services (such as Google, Evernote, GitHub, Amazon, Dropbox, Facebook, Linode etc.). You'd like to think of it as a modern Windows version of Google Authenticator.

2. - Opened source under MIT license ( ) so that you can evaluate security, modify source code or contribute to this repo.

3. Amazing huh? It’s thanks to the mathematics and my sense of morality to make all of “don’t, won’t and never" above possible.



Pros:

  • - Requires you to set a password and enter it to activate the program
  • - Supports “copy” of the codes so you don’t need to read them and type them
  • - Both the QR code and Secret code entry work

    Rip Off

    No instructions provided to set up this App on my Windows. NOTHING!! even under the Help Menu. Total Rip Off and a waste of time. It should NOT be on the App Store. Does nobody check these apps? Please refund my purchase as soon as possible

    Not Working

    Just installed. Tool for capturing QR codes doesn't work.


  • By Valorfive

    QR Code scanning option doesnt work =(

    One of the key features I bought this app for was it’s feature for importing from the generated QR codes. When using the feature nothing happens. Additionally in the 10 minutes I’ve had this, the app has quit unexpectedly…no bueno

    it works, but it far from obvious and has issues

    My wife took my phone one evening, I needed by 2 factor auth, this WORKS. A excellent features: (1) it requires you to set a password, and it require that you enter it to activate the program (so if you close it - other users can’t just pull up your codes), and (2) it does support “copy” of the codes so you don’t need to read them and type them. Both the QR code and Secret code entry work (different buttons to click on the app). Yes - there is NO help, and there are bugs. But, it works. The QR code scanner requires that you hover over the QR code on the screen and wait (do not click). Also - it ONLY works if the app is on your primary screen, and the QR code is on the primary screen (I have multiple screens - and this bug was not obvious). Other than scanning a QR code… the app works fine if you move it onto another screen. Another bug is that you can scan in a zero QR code by accident, and it will refuse to delete it. The obvious fixes that would be good for this app: (1) add help/tips, (2) fix the problem that requies the app and QR code to be on the primary screen, (3) allow deletion of zero QR codes [they get stuck], (4) allow the whole database of codes to be wiped - esp. when reinstalling… if you reinstall, it insists that you must know the password to the prior database to even use the app - there is no option to clear and start over, (5) add an option to force the app to stay on top of windows, (6) confirm deletes - or move the option further from the COPY option!, (7) allow the codes to be rearranged [the order on the screen depends on the order you enter them. I hope the author considers these changes… it would make a “barely works” app into a real gem.

    Authenticator is terrible

    Impossible to use, and does not come with instructions, worse than nothing, I had no idea what I was getting into--bought under pressure while trying to renew a trademark. The USPTO implies you MUST use Authenticator or equivalent. Get an equivalent if you must.
