Authenticator.cc Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• NPM debug and chalk packages compromised

  No. It only proves that TOTP, as implemented by mobile apps, is useless against phishing. The extension from https://authenticator.cc, with smart domain match enabled, would have caught this by showing all other TOTP codes besides the one intended by NPM. On a Mac, Keychain would also have caught this by not autofilling: https://support.apple.com/en-ph/guide/passwords/mchl873a6e72/1.1/mac/15.0. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• iPhone Dumbphone

  Have you considered https://authenticator.cc/ ? I realize it is amusing to even consider offloading OTP generation to a web browser extension however, if `$work` doesn’t want to provide you with the correct hardware (e.g. Yubikey, NitroKey, etc.) there are boundary-respecting alternatives. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Aegis v3.0 – a free, secure and open source 2FA app for Android

  I would say that the "generic desktop app" approach is to be avoided. The reason is that there is a strictly better alternative that targets almost the same audience. By implementing a TOTP generator as a desktop browser extension instead, one gets visibility into which site the user visits, and can show only the relevant code, or, if there is none, a phishing warning. The users that are left behind in the browser... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• End of Life for Twilio Authy Desktop App

  I use a browser extension from https://authenticator.cc/ While I do not know whether its UX is similar, it does have a sync feature (but not cross-browser), an export feature, can backup its data to Google Drive, can store everything encrypted (but not by default), is recommended by at least one government website (SSS Employer Portal in the Philippines), and is there for a long time. Oh, and it also remembers... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Feature Request: TOTP for MFA

  Currently, I'm using the Authenticator.cc browser extension on the same device for TOTP. However, I imagine security will eventually tighten and running authentication app/protocols on the same device that is logging in wont be an option. Source: almost 3 years ago

• two factor using authenticator.cc browser extension

  I've got a situation where we have a couple of staff that can't install MS authenticator; no smartphone. In some ways I'm jealous of them. Anyway, wife's company is of significant size and she passed off their docs on the issue and they use authenticator.cc browser extension for these situations. I tested it myself, and it works. It's just the raw OTP and not a number entry challenge. Source: over 3 years ago

• Authy has been hacked, here is how to protect yourself

  For Windows, you really aren't going to find anything. The best I could find was a browser extension called Authenticator (no relation) but I cannot vouch for it. Source: about 4 years ago

• Problems with authenticator.cc

  This has also worked great so far. Currently I - and also some other users - have the following problem: Although a current code is entered, we get the error message that it has expired and is invalid. If you try it with the same code (before it expires according to authenticator.cc), the following happens:. Source: over 4 years ago

• How do I remove this massive thing that takes up hella space in the channel list? I'm not even a moderator.

  Suggestion: enable 2fa. You don't even need a phone to do it, I just use https://authenticator.cc as a browser extension and it works just fine. Source: over 4 years ago

• Google introduces mandatory 2-Step Verification for Google Accounts

  You can use https://authenticator.cc/ with Chrome or Firefox. There are many other TOTP generators for desktop. No need for Google Authenticator. - Source: Hacker News / almost 5 years ago

• How much security is too much?

  Two-factor authentication for web accounts that permit setting this up. The use of a browser extension from https://authenticator.cc/ is OK if it is password-protected, I am sure KDE also has some app for this, a separate device like a phone is even better. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Unable to setup 2fa

  Well, turns out it was just Google Authenticator that was the issue. emailed support and they suggested I try https://authenticator.cc/ (browser extension) and I just manually entered the info to add it in (on my pc) and it worked 1st try. Suggested to them --> Maybe update in the Settings to not suggest google authenticator or just add in the authenticator.cc option? Source: about 5 years ago

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  I work in tech and am required to use 2FA for authorizing into most apps/services. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auth-helper/ has been my go to 2FA plugin for Firefox for about 3 years without any issue. They also have a Chrome and Edge version. https://authenticator.cc/. Source: over 5 years ago

• Aegis 2fa app codes not working

  Also, you wrote that you synced the time with your PC. Check if you can generate correct codes on PC, you can use WinAuth or browser plugin - at least you will know if your computer's time is not the root cause. Source: over 5 years ago
