Overview
- Proton Authenticator is available on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux as a free two-factor authentication tool.
- The open-source app encrypts user codes end-to-end and operates without ads or tracking.
- Users can generate codes offline, import tokens from other authenticators, and sync across devices with automatic encrypted backups.
- App-based 2FA offers stronger protection than SMS-based methods that are vulnerable to SIM-swapping.
- The launch follows Proton’s rollout of its privacy-focused AI chatbot Lumo and reflects the company’s growing suite of encrypted services.
