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

  • ⚙️ Compatibility: Authenticator Pro is compatible with most ISPs and accounts.
  • 📲Import: Easily transfer accounts to Authenticator Pro from supported alternative applications.
  • 💾 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.
  • 🌙 Dark Mode: Authenticator Pro has a beautiful appearance created in material design style, in light or dark themes.
  • ⏺️ Icons: Easily find your authenticators with recognizable brand logos and icons next to each code.
  • 📂 Categories: Organize your authenticators by category.
  • 🔒 Autonomy with few permissions: Authenticator Pro requires only one permission¹ and does not need internet access.
  • 🔑 Security: Set a password and use biometric authentication to protect your codes.
  • 🎨 Personalization: Set icons and renaming. You can also arrange the authenticators in any order so they are easy to find.
  • 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?

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 it’s missing Aegis’ 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+.
