Proton launches its own free 2FA app with a native desktop version
Proton, a Swiss technology company known for its privacy-focused software, has launched a new open-source two-factor authentication (2FA) app called Proton Authenticator. The app offers features similar to other 2FA apps, but with a focus on security, encryption, and privacy, without any ads or tracking. Proton Authenticator is available for all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, making it a unique offering as it provides a desktop version, unlike other popular 2FA apps. Users with a free Proton Account can sync the app across all their devices. This new app is particularly beneficial for privacy-conscious individuals who want to move away from large tech companies and use a more secure 2FA solution. Proton Authenticator is part of Proton's suite of privacy-focused products, which includes Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass.
