Description

From the listing uploaded by “killer00085”.

Sophos Authenticator is a simple and intuitive application that provides multi-factor authentication on your mobile device. It generates both time-based and event-based one-time passwords (OTP) according to RFC 6238 and RFC 4226. Once configured, 2-step authentication protects your account by requiring both your password and an additional code, thus adding an extra layer of security. The app will generate these codes for you in a convenient way, directly on your smartphone or tablet, without the need for Internet connection. Sophos Authenticator does not only operate with a Sophos account, but also with accounts from Google, Dropbox, Facebook, Github and all the other providers who implement authentication in this standardized way. Features: - Can generate both time-based (TOTP) and counter-based (HOTP) codes - SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash algorithm supported - Add an account easily by simply scanning a QR code with your device camera or by adding it manually - Great flexibility: the time-step for TOTP accounts can be any number of seconds and is not limited to 30 seconds - It's possible to specify the desired time step (TOTP case) or counter (HOTP case) when manually adding a new account - Generated codes can be 6 to 8 digits wide - No Internet/network connection needed, everything happens offline - Copy any generated code to the clipboard for easy and fast access.

Sophos Authenticator APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Sophos Authenticator APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2e661ff37f4cf96f3b942a119f2612f9.
