What makes a secure authenticator app?
End-to-end encrypted sync
Open-source code
Biometric app lock
Multiple backup options
Zero data collection
Protect your data against criminals.
Private by design and built for control
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is one of the best ways to protect your online security and privacy. Developed by the same team behind Proton Mail, Proton Authenticator is a simple, secure authenticator app that gives you full privacy, transparency, and choice.
Open source and transparent
Proton Authenticator is fully open source. So you don’t have to trust that it’s the most secure authenticator app available — anyone can inspect the code and verify it.
End-to-end encrypted sync
Access your 2FA codes on any device. They're secured with Proton's rigorous end-to-end encryption, giving you peace of mind that they're private — not even Proton can see them.

Lock your app
Use biometrics or a PIN to lock your app as an extra layer of security. You can set the amount of time before the app locks automatically.
Import and export securely
Your codes are yours. That’s why it’s easy to import tokens from another 2FA app or export them anytime you want.
Own your data
Avoid companies that spy on you and abuse your data. Proton doesn’t monitor you, and anyone can use Proton Authenticator without an account.
Trust through transparency
All Proton apps are open source, so anyone can verify our code is safe from vulnerabilities and does exactly what we claim.
How Proton Authenticator protects you against phishing
Criminals use phishing scams to pretend to be someone else in order to trick you into giving them your personal data. Preventing phishing means going beyond traditional passwords. Proton Authenticator allows you to protect your online accounts using two-factor authentication (2FA), a more secure way to access your accounts. Even if a criminal has your password, they don't have access to the authenticator app on your phone or your computer, and they can't log into your accounts.
The authenticator that puts you first
Other authenticator apps focus on locking you into Big Tech ecosystems or serving you ads. Proton Authenticator is different. It has no ads, no trackers, and is open source, so you can verify its code. See how easy 2FA can be when your security and privacy are the priority.
