CyAuth1.02

While it is true that most online services provide you with the two-steps authentication option, sometimes you may feel like taking things, such as protecting your accounts, into your own hands.CyAuth is a tool specially designed to help you make the most out of the second-factor authentication feature by helping you generate OTP keys you can link to your accounts.

Add a new account in two easy steps

Following a quick and uneventful setup, you come face to face with a rather small UI, but that is user-friendly and even includes a test account so you can figure out how to get around. Even though it is not very obvious at first, you can start adding the desired accounts by clicking on the Plus sign located in the upper right corner of the UI.Adding a new account is a simple and straightforward process that entails providing a name for it so you can quickly identify it and enter the secret key or seed. Optionally, you can select one of the icons available and add recovery or backup codes for the accounts you are adding.As far as the types of services supported by the application are concerned, you can count Facebook, Dropbox, GitHub, BitBucket, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Evernote, just to name a few.

You can use it on mobile and gaming rooms

It is worth mentioning that the application does not employ a server for storing the data you are entering. In fact, the idea behind the application is to help you increase the security of online accounts that support the use of other code generating tools for their two-step authentication process. Moreover, the utility also has a dedicated section where you can enter your recovery or backup codes, if necessary.You will be happy to learn that the program allows you to clone accounts you regularly use from desktop to your mobile devices so that you can enjoy the same level of protection. Exporting, in this case, is a simple matter of scanning the QR code provided within the desktop app.Since the app is all about protecting sensitive data, you can configure the app to hide the OTP codes on the home screen and auto-close after 5 seconds after copying them. This way, you can be sure that nosy colleagues or friends do not have a chance to see them.

A tool that can increase the security of your online accounts
