## Description

FreeOTP Authenticator adds a second security layer by generating time-based one-time passwords (TOTP/HOTP) on your device. These codes can be used with many online services and work offline, so you’re protected even when you’re not connected.

The project is Open Source under the Apache 2.0 license. Source code is available for review and contribution, and it supports enterprise security needs (e.g., FreeIPA).

## Review summary

FreeOTP Authenticator on iOS is praised for its simple, clean interface, open-source nature, and lightweight design that provides straightforward OTP generation. However, users repeatedly complain about missing essential features: no backup/export or device-to-device transfer, no option to edit, delete, or rename tokens, and a comparatively bare iOS experience versus Android (including limited export/import). Some also mention losing a convenient copy-to-clipboard flow and lack of localization. Overall, it’s a solid basic authenticator, but difficult to rely on for long-term token migrations.

### Pros

- Simple, clean UI and easy to use.
- Open source and privacy-friendly.
- Free to use and lightweight with a small footprint.
- Reliable basic OTP generation; serves as a solid go-to authenticator.

### Cons

- No backup/export or device-to-device transfer; tokens can’t be migrated between apps/devices.
- No option to edit, delete, or rename tokens; token management is limited.
- iOS version is comparatively bare and less functional than Android (limited import/export).
- Copy-to-clipboard convenience was removed or is harder to use.
- Localization/UI language support is lacking (few languages supported).
