User Reviews

Users widely criticize the KU Leuven Authenticator app for mandatory installation without alternative options, frequent crashes, buggy behavior, and unreliable push notifications. Many report login failures, especially on new or the same devices, and feel burdened by requiring constant phone availability for authentication. This has caused access problems during important deadlines and frustration due to the app's poor design and lack of user-centric features.

Pros

Cons

Mandatory use forces users to install and rely solely on this app without alternatives like Google Authenticator.
The app frequently crashes and is buggy, causing login failures and communication errors.
Push notifications or login prompts often fail to arrive or function properly, hindering authentication.
Users experience difficulty logging in on new devices or the same device due to app errors and poor multi-device support.
App requires users to have smartphones constantly available, which is inconvenient and problematic if the phone is lost or broken, especially during critical periods.
