1. And most important: OTP Auth does not connect to the internet and will not send your accounts to someone else! (Unless you enable iCloud sync where an AES-256 encrypted copy of your accounts is stored in your iCloud Drive.
2. In particular, for both locally stored data as well as data stored in the iCloud Drive (when iCloud Sync is enabled).
3. All data stored by OTP Auth is stored using strong AES-256 encryption.
4. The password for those files never leaves your device such that noone but you can read your data.
5. OTP Auth does not collect information about you or send them anywhere.
6. OTP Auth adds support for two-factor authentication to your Windows.
7. This applies for all data.
8. It can be used with Dropbox, Facebook, GitHub, Google Mail and many more.
9. You won't be asked to allow access to your contacts or your location.

Somewhat
It does calculate your OTP correctly. I do not like that it is compulsory to set a password to access this app. In some cases (like my office computer) websites are shoving OTP down my throat and I don't care about the security. Requiring a password here does not make me more secure because my OTP initialization key is already stored in my password file right next to my password anyway. Also the widget shown in the app screenshot is not compatible with PC Big Sur's widgets screen.
Great 2FA / Easy to use
I moved to OTP Auth from Authy because of the PC support and found out that the Safari integration with an extension is wonderfull. It is great to have your passowrds and 2FA both seamlessly integrated into Safari keeping you from having to go to another app. If you don't want to use the extension OTP Auth is still right there on your Windows. And it that still bothers you use your iPhone or iPad. All your needs, or paranoias, are covered.
My favorite OTP app!
Happy to purchase and support the developer. I have been using the iPhone and iPad companion app for quite some time, as well as the Windows app. Although this version is different than prior versions, I understand working with the constraints of app store requirements necessitates some differences. Very good to see an app that is solid, works well and has great potential moving forward! Thank you!
Old version was better
Pre-Big Sur I had the old version of this app (from the website) and it was great. When I needed a code I'd open Notification Center with a swipe, click the code, then paste it in the field. I was happy to buy the Big Sur app to support the developer when I saw the previous version no longer worked, but now when I click the code in Notification Center it launches the app in a standalone window before copying it. It's not a huge deal, but it adds friction to something I'm doing many times a day and is a step down from how it worked before.
2FA Easy to use on both iPhone and PC
I find OTP Auth Pro to be a very KISS solution for two factor authentication. I use this solution on both my iPhone, and Windows. I feel this is one of the best solutions for two factor authentication as I does not require me to plug anything into a port on my devices to use. I always have my iPhone with me 7 x 24 so it is always with me.
