Account Security

My Brave Experience

Comentarios: Love Brave. It's my default browser. Would highly recommend.

Puntos a favor:

- Does not use up a lot of RAM - Does not cause my laptop's fan to ramp up excessively - No Google integration - Love the award of BAT crypto for browsing - Based on Chromium, can install Google extensions without all the additional Google integrations as previously mentioned.

Contras:

Would love to see the user give more control over the arranging of icons on the UI. Some form of decentralized back up for bookmarks and settings.

Fully functional with added backup and multi-device support.

Comentarios: I use Authy to secure a lot of our global infrastructure. We integrated the API for Authy as a 2FA method, as well as using Authy in replacement of other services. We have the ability to enforce longer codes to be used and push these 2FA codes to a device.

Puntos a favor:

Authy allows me to have as many 2FA accounts as I need, synchronising these across all of my devices (desktop and mobile) and with an added backup. I can securely prevent new devices being synchronised for added security too and the UI is simple and intuitive.

Contras:

Sometimes the site icons do not update across devices and there isn't a way to update the name of the 2FA account you have added previously.

Alternativas consideradas: Microsoft Authenticator

Razones para cambiar a Account Security: Authy was independent of the platform and much more feature rich overall, with added backup.

Best Authenticator App

Puntos a favor:

Twilio Authy is the free best authenticator app that has many options, making it easier to authenticate your accounts.Adding new accounts to your Authy account is extremely easy, you just need to enter your private key or scan the QR Code. After that, it will automatically generate one-time passcodes that will be expired within the next 30 seconds.

Contras:

Recovering your account takes 24 hours in case you've lost your phone.

Great software with major setback!

Puntos a favor:

I like that Authy is available for desktops unlike other more popular solution.

Contras:

One major setback for Authy is that it forces obsolete SMS verification, this is a severe security weakness and should be abandoned ASAP.

My go-to app for Two-Factor Authentication keys!

Comentarios: Authy has been a breeze to implement. The initial setup only requires a mobile number to setup. Once installed, additional devices can be setup from the main/additional devices. This makes it so much easier to have multiple devices in sync without having to deal with login issues because of a dead battery. The automatic backup and sync makes it seamless to use the app hassle-free.
It is literally the best 2FA application out there.

Puntos a favor:

Authy has been a life-saver, saving both time and money while providing great security. The set up and day to day has been seamless. Finger print authentication has changed the game since we first started using it more than half a decade ago. Quite honestly, the easiest 2FA application to set up and use to date!

Contras:

We haven't noticed anything go wrong so far. It is a well-developed app that have a great front-end experience while making having a great backend that support the app.
