Unintrusive, doesn't require any permission beside storing your secret token(s), preferably encrypted.

Does what it supposed to do! help us give extra protection! I would highly recommend it, installed it after Authy quitted the scene.

Au début tout va bien tout marche mais je ne sais pas pourquoi plus aucun code ne fonctionne après. il vaut mieux choisir l'a2f de google ou autre qui la ne bloqueront pas vos compte comme moi.
