  • Very secure- We take security seriously. We use industry standard secure algorithms (HMAC RFC 4426) and 256 bits keys which are always encrypted at rest.
  • Fully redundant- The Authy API is deployed accross different PCI level 1 data-centers and it's fully redundant. We also use a DNS provider with anycast support. We've had 100% availability since 2011.

  • Fully mobile- We support any cellphone. We provide apps for all major phones (iPhone and Android) as well as text-messages for other cellphones.
  • No expensive &amp
  • complex setups- Hardware dongles, servers, software licenses, setup costs...It's 2013, forget all that. Authy is bringing two-factor authentication to the present.
