## Description

Authenticator generates two-factor authentication (2FA) codes (TOTP, HOTP, Steam Guard, Blizzard) directly in your browser to add an extra layer of security to your online accounts. Add accounts by scanning QR codes, search quickly with "/", encrypt secrets with a password, and back up to a file or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox). You can also sync with your Google Account or import data from the Google Authenticator mobile app.

Open source and translated into 10+ languages, Authenticator keeps you in control of your secrets while making 2FA easy and accessible. Always keep a backup of your secrets and consider encrypting them—especially when using shared or cloud-linked accounts.
