About Sophos Authenticator
Sophos Authenticator is a simple and intuitive application that provides multi-factor authentication on your mobile device. It generates both time-based and event-based one-time passwords (OTP) according to RFC 6238 and RFC 4226.
Once configured, 2-step authentication protects your account by requiring both your password and an additional code, thus adding an extra layer of security. The app will generate these codes for you in a convenient way, directly on your smartphone or tablet, without the need for Internet connection. Sophos Authenticator does not only operate with a Sophos account, but also with accounts from Google, Dropbox, Facebook, Github and all the other providers who implement authentication in this standardized way.
Features:
- Can generate both time-based (TOTP) and counter-based (HOTP) codes
- SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash algorithm supported
- Add an account easily by simply scanning a QR code with your device camera or by adding it manually
- Great flexibility: the time-step for TOTP accounts can be any number of seconds and is not limited to 30 seconds
- It's possible to specify the desired time step (TOTP case) or counter (HOTP case) when manually adding a new account
- Generated codes can be 6 to 8 digits wide
- No Internet/network connection needed, everything happens offline
- Copy any generated code to the clipboard for easy and fast access

All other OTP apps need Internet access, which is a major security concern. Sophos does the right thing by keeping it all offline. Just make sure your device's time is correctly synchronized and you're all set.

Nice work. Can we have an option to copy to clipboard with just a single tap? Thanks again, Sophos.

I've switched to this from Google Authenticator. I really like the facts that it requires no Internet connection authority nor does it access the local accounts on my phone. However, it definitely has a problem scanning QR codes; it often times takes *minutes* to scan a code. (At times, I've given up on scanning after several minutes and hand-entered the code.)

Simple design, free, fast and light. No need for internet connection. Have everything you need. The QR code scanner works. Although it can be quite difficult to read the QR code. If you can't scan it you can insert a code.

Provides more features than the Google Authenticator and is simple enough to use however had issues on two devices with the QR code scanning. The camera would launch but not recognize the QR code on the screen when the Google version would.
by T####:
Hard to recommend when there is no viable way to recover or back up your codes. Losing a phone is severely detrimental when you can't afford the time to recover your account.
