Authy is one of the best solutions today for stable and affordable two-step security. Date: Jul 26 2022
Summary: I love the security that this platform has provided me all this time, I have been using it for about a year and a half, and I am happy with the results because the security of all our accounts has improved exponentially, all our employees are using Internet of sales sector, in order to protect confidential material of the company and in order to protect personal information of each employee, the general experience that we have obtained with this platform has been positive because it has been quite easy to use, both in its version for mobile devices as well as its version for computers, it also allows us to add an encryption key for each of the accounts that we have previously added, this means that when we want to generate a two-step key from the version for computers or the version for mobile devices, we will have to enter an encryption key, in order to unlock the key of d These specific steps, This encryption key function helps to keep our accounts protected, in this way anyone who enters our computer, will not be able to use our temporary keys but first have an encryption password. We will continue to use this great platform, our company, the results they have provided are excellent, its easy connection with each of the accounts is satisfactory, you can add your accounts to this platform just by scanning a QR code or using a temporary code.
Positive: Authy is an excellent service to authenticate and allow access to various accounts, its ability to provide a key is amazing, it helps maintain proportional security in all the account you have registered. This two-step security platform is one of the best today, due to its wide availability for all types of operating systems, one of the things that I liked the most about this platform were the following:
- As I mentioned previously, the wide availability of this platform for all types of operating systems is incredible, currently you can install a desktop version for Windows and macOS operating systems, this helps you to access your passwords from any device. The version for Windows is quite attractive, it offers a fairly small window in which you can manage all your tests in a fluid way, in addition the general interface is attractive, quite compact and helps you to manage everything easily.
- Another thing that I love about the Windows version and the mobile version is that the Key offers is quite durable, each Key generated for two-step access to a specific account lasts approximately 30 seconds, those 30 seconds are more enough to write the code on the platform and access the account you want. This is a positive factor because I have previously used other two-step dedication platforms which only give you 10 or 15 seconds to use that code, then the code changes automatically.
- This platform is quite light, its download on computers and quite fast, it weighs approximately 10 MB for computers, and approximately 40 MB for mobile devices, this is a fairly light weight, and it helps to have it on your mobile device without presenting a minute motto with your device storage. In addition, its consumption when working as a background platform is quite low, so you can have this platform open while you use others.
- This platform has a widget for both mobile devices and computers, in this way you can use the platform without having to open it completely. This widget can be easily inserted on your desktop, and can generate any type of Two-Step Key in a matter of seconds, without the need to open the platform.Negative: During my experience with this platform I have only noticed one negative aspect about it, since as I mentioned previously, this platform is quite complete and provides several positive factors which help protect the various sources that damage it, the negative thing What you didn't get about this platform was the following:

- There is no way to transfer these keys to another device that you want to start using. For example, if you need to change your mobile device because you have sold the device you were using, there is no way to transfer these keys to your new mobile device, to have all the keys you previously had, you must add them manually one by one, this can It can be a bit tedious for some people, so it would be great if this key can be stored in the cloud and you can transfer it to another device without having to go through a complex process. For example, compared to Google's authentication system, which allows you to transfer this Key thanks to your Google account, this does not happen on this platform, all keys are lost when you stop using a device, and you have to add them manually from your new device. -

Access to all types of accounts with a 2FA system. Date: Mar 20 2022
Summary: With Authy, the protection of all services has improved exponentially, previously we only had SMS verification for our social network accounts and accounts in software that we use, but since this program arrived to perform a two-step verification, our security increased a lot. , becoming almost impossible for an intruder to access our accounts. Authy has dramatically changed security at our company, now all of our employees use Authy to protect their work and social media accounts. During our experience we never had any complications, we have always been able to access the temporary codes generated in Authy, it has never given us any errors and we are happy for that, this software only needs a few things to optimize to make it perfect.
Positive: Having additional protection for all the services that we use in our company is absolutely paramount as this is how we ensure that our business information is kept secure from end to end. We use Authy to have two-step authentication at all times. The things I like the most about Authy are:
- It has an easy setup process, you can insert a new service to Authy just by typing the name of the service and activating 2FA in your service account, but you can also insert a new service by scanning a QR code.
- Authy's interface is quite comfortable, you can receive codes for various services without presenting any kind of confusion, in addition, it is a very simple interface, with simple colors but with incredible functionality, capable of helping us to enter any service.
- Verification codes for about 10 seconds, long enough for you to insert it into the service you're trying to access, not like other platforms that only throw a code that lasts about 5 seconds to change automatically.Negative: The only negative thing I need to mention about Authy is that when I switch devices, none of the accounts I previously linked to my Authy account are saved. It would be amazing to be able to save all the services that I previously linked, and start receiving the codes instantly. Sometimes I've bought a new phone and when I log in to my Authy account none of the services I previously had on my account show up, I have to register them individually and this is a pretty boring process, it would be great to be able to keep the services linked to my Authy account no matter if I change devices.
