## Description

TrustID Authenticator is a robust Chrome extension designed to enhance your account security through two-factor authentication using TrustID services. It secures your sensitive data, like the authentication secret, locally on your device and protects the app itself with biometric verification or a PIN code, ensuring your credentials remain safe.

The extension facilitates an effortless sign-in process by sending push notifications to your app for instant approval or cancellation of access attempts. In cases where notification services are unavailable, TrustID Authenticator supports a traditional offline mode, keeping your sign-in process uninterrupted. This combination of security and convenience makes TrustID Authenticator an essential tool for protecting your online accounts.
