Does 2FA Vault run on my computer?

Yes. 2FA Vault is a native desktop authenticator for both Mac and Windows, so your two-factor codes are one click away in the app you are already working in — no phone required to sign in.

Can I import my Authy accounts?

Authy does not allow exporting account seeds, so you re-add each account by scanning its QR code or pasting an otpauth:// link. 2FA Vault also imports directly from Google Authenticator, Aegis, and 2FAS.

Where are my codes stored?

In an encrypted local vault on your device, protected by your master password with AES-256-GCM. No cloud account — no iCloud, no cloud sync — holds your codes, and you can make your own encrypted backup to move between computers.

Do I still need my phone?

No. 2FA Vault is standalone and generates your codes on your computer. Add accounts by scanning a QR code from your screen or camera, or by importing from Google Authenticator, Aegis, and 2FAS.

Is 2FA Vault a native Windows app?

Yes. Install it from the Microsoft Store and it runs natively on Windows, with an encrypted local vault for all your two-factor codes.

Yes. Every core feature is free for up to 10 accounts. The optional one-time $4.99 Pro upgrade lifts that to unlimited accounts and adds biometric unlock — Touch ID on Mac, Windows Hello on PC — encrypted scheduled auto-backup, and plaintext export.

Does 2FA Vault run natively on macOS?

Yes. It is a native Mac app for macOS 12 and later on Apple Silicon, with an Intel build also available.

Can I unlock it with Touch ID?

Yes. Touch ID unlock on Mac (and Windows Hello on PC) is included with the optional one-time Pro upgrade, so you can open your vault without typing your master password each time.

The desktop authenticator landscape

Nearly every authenticator app is built for your phone. 2FA Vault is a dedicated desktop TOTP authenticator for Mac and Windows — your codes sit one click away in the app you're already working in, protected by an encrypted local vault.

Why Windows users are stuck

Windows has no built-in authenticator, and the big-name apps — Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator — only run on your phone. 2FA Vault is a native Windows authenticator you install straight from the Microsoft Store: every two-factor code in an encrypted vault on your PC, one click to copy, no phone required. On Mac it's just as native, with Touch ID unlock so you can open your vault without typing your master password each time.

Moving off Authy

When Authy discontinued its desktop apps in 2024, it left Mac and Windows users without a way to get their two-factor codes on a computer — and Authy doesn't let you export your account seeds. So you re-add each account in 2FA Vault by scanning its QR code or pasting an otpauth:// link — the same one-time setup you did originally. After that, everything lives in your own encrypted vault, and you can save an encrypted backup you fully control.

Why a desktop authenticator at all

When you sign in on your computer, reaching for your phone every time is friction. 2FA Vault puts your codes on the same screen: search as you type, click to copy, and a live countdown ring shows exactly how long each code is valid so you never paste an expired token. Values stay masked until you copy, so nothing lingers on your display.

Bring your accounts across

Moving from another authenticator shouldn't mean starting over. Import from Google Authenticator, Aegis, 2FAS, or any otpauth:// links, preview exactly what will be added, and your whole vault is populated at once — no retyping, no QR juggling.

In Google Authenticator, choose Transfer accounts → Export to show its transfer QR code, then scan it with 2FA Vault straight off your screen — or from your camera for codes on paper or another device. Your accounts land in an encrypted vault where you can tag them, pin favorites, and save a password-protected backup to restore on any Mac or PC — none of which the phone app offers.
