Sophos Authenticator does not only operate with a Sophos account, but also with accounts from Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Github and all the other providers who implement authentication in this standardised way.
Once configured, 2-step authentication protects your account by requiring both your password and an additional code, thus adding an extra layer of security.
Sophos Authenticator is a simple and intuitive application that provides multi-factor authentication on your mobile device.
It generates both time-based and event-based one-time passwords (OTP) according to RFC 6238 and RFC 4226.
The app will generate these codes for you in a convenient way, directly on your smartphone or tablet, without the need for Internet connection.
