Introducing Tanflow Authenticator: Secure TOTP-Based 2FA

The Tanflow Authenticator is now on Google Play and the App Store - a free, offline, TOTP-based two-factor authentication app for all your accounts.

We are excited to announce the launch of the Tanflow Authenticator - a free, TOTP-based two-factor authentication (2FA) app designed to make strong account security effortless. It is available now on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

With account breaches on the rise, a reliable 2FA app matters more than ever. Tanflow Authenticator adds a strong extra layer by generating time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) entirely on your device.

Key features

  • TOTP-based 2FA - standards-based time-based one-time passwords
  • Scan QR codes - add accounts instantly from supported services
  • Manual key entry - enter a secret key when a QR code is not available
  • Time-based OTP generation - codes rotate on a fixed interval
  • Search - find stored accounts quickly
  • Secure reset - reconfigure the app safely when you need to

Why a TOTP app beats SMS

SMS-based OTPs are exposed to phishing and SIM-swap attacks. A TOTP app generates codes offline, on your device:

  • More secure - no codes travelling over the network
  • Reliable and fast - no delays from SMS or network issues
  • Works everywhere - Google, Microsoft, GitHub, AWS and any TOTP service

Setting it up

  1. Download the app from the Play Store or App Store
  2. Open it and tap "Add account"
  3. Scan the QR code from your service, or enter the secret key manually
  4. A time-based one-time password is generated
  5. Use the code whenever you are prompted for 2FA

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes - Tanflow Authenticator is completely free, with no hidden charges.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Because it generates TOTP codes locally, no internet connection is required.

What if I lose my phone?

Back up your secret keys securely when you set up 2FA. If you lose your device, use the backup to restore access.

Which services does it support?

Any service that supports TOTP - Google, Facebook, Microsoft, GitHub, AWS and more.
