3/5add option to migrate accounts
I just noticed that currently you do bot have the option to export your account to a new device using freeotp. This is a major flaw of this app. Using Google Authenticator I can export the data between different devices using Google Authenticator. This would be very helpful to have the same option on freeotp. Also a goos upgrade would be to add password protected for mfa for items previously created. I can add a password to new mfas I add but can’t add to existing ones. Or add a general option to set a password to open the app itself.

4/5Wonderful interface, great security, lacking one or two important features.
This is my go-to Authenticator app: the interface is clean, interaction is simple, and it’s easy to tell which key belongs to what service. However, I’ve noticed that there is no option to input a string of text to generate a key, which is all that some services offer. Because of this I’m forced to use another Authenticator for some services, one owned by an unnamed company with bad privacy practices. I’d appreciate if the aforementioned functionality was added, as that would allow me to rely less on the also aforementioned nosy corporation. Overall great app, would recommend to everyone, it’s just that one feature that’s missing.

5/5Going to try the app because I wasn’t to support RedHat
Full disclosure: I haven’t used the app very much l have 3 entries and after reading all the reviews there seems to be Maher dealbreakers. I have 5 stars for the benefit of the doubt but I will text it for a bit and come back for an edited proper review. How can RedHat have so many unfavorable reviews? Maybe I’m mistakin, is this the Ted Hat Enterprise Linux Brand we’re talking about here? If so it doesn’t make sense that the king of distros and security is not the favorite dominant OTP app. Time to dig this is concerning and not adding up.

5/5It works
Although I have never used any other authentication app, I don’t see why I would need any features this one doesn’t have. I use this on an iphone 6s with ios 12 and it has never caused any problem for me. I have not tried to add any custom icons, so if that really isn’t working as some other reviews say, I wouldn’t know and I have no need for the feature. Unless I am not remembering correctly, this app is open source which makes it more secure than the overwhelming majority of other authentication apps.

4/5Lost custom icon support on iOS 11
Love the app, however I’m no longer able to edit or set custom images ever since upgrading to iOS 11. Now when it goes to display my gallery I only see the images for a brief moment before the page switches to a blank white page, though I do at least still have the navigation buttons to exit back to the main page. Custom images worked fine prior to the update and the images I had previously set still remain.
