Audience
Anyone who wants a private, open source, cross-device two-factor authentication app that secures logins with time-based one-time codes
About Proton Authenticator
Proton Authenticator is a privacy-first two-factor authentication app that generates time-based one-time passwords to add an extra layer of login security for online accounts beyond just a password, so users can secure accounts across all their devices. It is open source and uses end-to-end encryption, meaning all cryptographic operations and secret keys are generated and stored locally, and even Proton cannot see your unencrypted 2FA data, offering transparency and strong privacy by design. Users can sync 2FA codes across devices with encrypted backups (including via iCloud or a Proton Account), import existing codes from other authenticator apps, and export them if needed, giving flexibility and control over 2FA secrets without vendor lock-in. Proton Authenticator is free to use, has no ads or tracking, and supports secure practices like biometric locks and offline access, so users can generate login codes.

Auth0
Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™.
Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control.
Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO.
