Authy vs. Google Authenticator

1

Google Authenticator

Since Authy is available for Android, and iOS mobile devices, and for Windows, Apple Watch, and even your desktop, you can use Authy to stay protected from all devices simultaneously. Google Authenticator users are tied to a single device, so if you want to register a new phone or tablet, Google Authenticator automatically unregisters your current device.

Authy

Out of the gate, Authy lets you take advantage of encrypted backups in the cloud. How is this handy? Lose a phone, and you can still access Authy accounts from other devices (as long as you have not disabled the multi-device feature). Get a new phone, and you can install the Authy app, verify your identity, and access all your Authy tokens relatively painlessly when compared to Google’s solution.
