Twilio Authy

In our organisation we have to connect the diffrent server like production and staging so for access those we need to connect VPN and authy is helping us by providing 2FA and preventing unwanted logins. It is free to use so that we can use this easily and its setup is also kind of very easy. As this Authy App is available for many platform so we can use in multiple devices like android, iOS and computers.

If you've ever gone to use a multi-factor authenticated app, and not had your authentication device nearby, but had another device on-hand, Authy is for you. Authy makes it easy to turn any of your devices into your second factor for authentication, ensuring that your codes are always at hand. Even if you don't want to use multiple devices, users will appreciate the ability to back up their authentication codes, so that if their authentication device is ever lost, they can easily recover the codes to a new device, without having to re-register the new device with their applications.

I've never had to contact Authy's support. Of course, that's because Authy is so simple and easy to use that there hasn't been any need to. Authy correctly implements the time-based one-time password (TOTP) protocol, and becomes it conforms to the standard, it easily replaces Google Authenticator for your needs.

Authy is very useful for the purpose it was designed (two factor authentication) and it behaves really good when there is a need to change, add or replace devices that have access to a specific account. It is the ideal tool for managing multiple devices and easily changing access authorization among them.

I have never used costumer support or followed any tutorial because the use of the application is very straightforward.

Authy is really good for situations where a user changes/replaces devices. Most other 2FA tools are tied to a device so if you change or do an OS re-install, you lose your 2FA codes which results in the user being locked out. Authy allows you to sign in and your codes are not lost by changing/replacing devices.

I give Authy a 10 here simply because it has been so easy that I have not had to reach out to support, either Authy's or a vendor. It just works and is one less thing to worry about for 2FA. I have not lost access to a resource secured by 2FA since switching to Authy.

If you value security Authy is a great form of two-factor authentication.

If you're currently using something like Google Authenticator, and struggling with multi-device scenarios, Authy is a welcome relief. If you have a bigger list of accounts, a tool like 1Password might be more appropriate — although we haven't tried to move any 2FA accounts to it yet, it has much more robust tools for selective sharing of accounts between users, grouping and organizing, etc.
