What is Authy?
Authy is a free mobile/desktop app for two-factor authentication that can be used to access digital banking. Download Authy for mobile or desktop.
Some advantages of the Authy app:
- Your data can be backed up to Authy's server if your phone is lost or stolen - and afterward, you can log out the old phone, too (settings: remove device).
- You will receive a push notification if someone else is trying to access your account via SMS.
- You may sync multiple devices to one account - even copy and paste a token right from the desktop Authy app into the website you need to access.
- If you are traveling, the app doesn't need an SMS with roaming charges, just use the code generated in the app.
