Can anyone recommend a good Authenticator app? I have the Google one, but it keep crashing a lot and hasn't been updated since October 2013, almost a year ago. It was doing fine, but now I use the bar scanner and it crashes right away.

Thanks!
 
That doesn't look bad, I'll have to look at that one too. I already downloaded that other one, but I just don't real right downloading an app like this from some who isn't a big company.
 
I have been using Google Authenticator for quite a while now, but then I was looking for an app to secure my Jira login. As there are no ready-to-use solutions by Google for this yet, I chose SecSign ID.

First, I found it difficult to understand why it is defined as 2 factor authentication as I did not have to enter a password anymore for the website login. SecSign ID does not use OTP but a challenge response authentication. Great approach, I do not want to miss this app anymore.
I also like the possibility to use the same ID on several devices, even my MacBook.
