TOTP Authenticator – Fast 2FA Reviews

After giving TOTPAuthenticator a good run, I can’t I’m good conscious recommend this to anyone.

If you value security and reliability STAY AWAY from TOTP Authenticator. Not only does the iOS app not allow you to set a layer of security separate from your device authentication method, it recently failed in a sync despite a previous backup (and numerous ones before) having all my services and decided to wipe 70% of them so I had to go through the headache of removing and re-adding my this as a 2FA app.

Please until the developers put more time and attention into this than one update a year on iOS and add more redundant security measures, do not use it. Use OTP Authenticator instead, black icon with a white padlock on TOTPAuthenticator Store.

I love how it can send the otp to chrome via the chrome extension. I configured it to go directly to the clipboard. Also, I love how the otp seeds are synced to icloud.. but to have true 2FA don’t store your main passwords in iCloud as well.

Does what it says. Easy to use and set up new accounts

I do not use thumbprint security on my iPhone. I don’t think anybody needs to have my thumbprint. I just updated TOTPAuthenticator and now I can’t access it without thumbprint security. This means I am locked out of all applications that I set up with 2FA using TOTPAuthenticator. It’s suddenly worse than useless to me. It’s locked me out of sites I need to use.

Excellent app. I just wish it offered encryption when storing the synced 2FA seeds on iCloud.

Works exactly as stated. Haven’t encountered any bugs.
Would be 5 star if it had dark mode support.

I love TOTPAuthenticator and it works well. I’ve noticed no issues since using the free version. I just upgraded to the premium so I can copy/paste the codes to save time which is nice however, why does it only allow one code to be pushed at a time? Is there a way to make more codes show in the google extension? My only complaint with the premium add ons

I can not find my account or access because it did not save

If I’m using more than 6 keys, I have a hard time figuring out which key goes to what account. You need better labels.

I can’t login how to login please I need your help
Thanks

TOTPAuthenticator is terrible. I can't do anything. Like how the heck am I supposed to enable a key manually?

TOTPAuthenticator is absolutely garbage

I’m trying to set up 2FA for Coinbase. When Coinbase says to enter the TOTP app’s code, I open it and see three sets of numbers, each with a moving ring around it. I assume that’s a timer so I quickly enter the top number. It comes back wrong. So I do it again and enter the bottom number. It doesn’t work either.

FAQs are totally limited, message option goes to the ether, and nothing on YouTube addresses this dilemma.

I normally give the benefit of the doubt but it appears that since I bought the premium version, I synced with the cloud and all my codes disappeared and won’t come back.

If that wasn’t bad enough, I’ve used the contract button in TOTPAuthenticator and found their website and found the guy that developed this on LinkedIn and have never received a response. Now I have to go through security verification with each company I have a code for and have them confirm it’s me to turn off 2FA so I can fix this mess.

TOTPAuthenticator needs to be removed if the developer no longer supports it. I understand leaving a game or non-critical app available but this is unacceptable.

Each time code applied , an invalid message comes up then the account gets locked

I have it working on my Android as well as in my iPhone. They both work well.

Why

TOTPAuthenticator works well as it’s intended to do but it would be great if there was a user setting to increase the font size of the authentication code. It’s very hard to see on my work-issues iPhone 8.

Doesn’t support FaceID, I still see the TouchID prompt screen but can’t do anything and have to use passcode instead. I’d like the added layer of security versus relying solely on my phone unlock itself— I sometimes disable it to allow a friend or family member to borrow my device, TOTPAuthenticator will prevent me from doing so with the same peace of mind since it shares the same passcode as your device.

Would love to see FaceID support added as well as a dark mode/theme option. With those two features TOTPAuthenticator is 5/5. (Will update if this changes, reviewed on 10/6/18)
