Pros

“I also like that a simple progress circle displays next to all of the logins you have saved in the app so you can clearly see how much time you have until the currently displayed set of codes resets.”

Stephanie P.

American accent coach

“From using it as a student to using it on my workplace, it has saved me a lot of time many times when I have to log into microsoft products.”

Aroob A.

Web Developer

“It also doesn’t have things like multi‑device sync or a built‑in lock, which would make it feel more modern.”

Meegan W.

Educator

Pros

“I would like to see a way to support a user who forgot his mobile device, using my mobile device and not need to login through my computer (in the case I am not in front of a PC)”

Nicolas C.

IT consultant

“The rare outages of the service which delays or prevents logins.”

Michael R.

Network Security Engineer

“I would like the password manager to be able to have a shared vault, in very specific cases where collaboration is required on an account that cannot manage roles and users.”

Katherine V.

Engineering Manager

Cons

“Even now, the export process feels a little clunky and not as smooth as other apps. If you forget to transfer your codes, you can get locked out of accounts fast.”

Meegan W.

Educator

“Sometimes the authenticator code will change in the middle of entering it and it will not accept the code and I will have to reenter the new code.”

Sherron S.

Case Manager

“For a long time, there was no backup at all, so losing your phone meant a full‑on panic.”

Meegan W.

Educator

Cons

“It can be confusing for some users to use, if they are not familiar with MFA, and the app permissions on android can cause problems that I have seen for a select user, otherwise it's very robust.”

Steven K.

IT Director

“Sometimes the portal is really slow when it comes to loading the customer-sites and opening the configuration page.”

Felix L.

Fachinformatiker Systemintegration

“Another con is that not all token can be added to the same app.”
