Supported authenticator apps
EVIDENT works with three widely-used authenticator apps:
- Google Authenticator — free, available on iOS and Android
- Microsoft Authenticator — free, available on iOS and Android, supports cloud backup
- Authy — free, available on iOS, Android, and desktop, supports multi-device sync
Which to choose
All three work equivalently for 2FA purposes. If you already use one for another service, stick with that. If you're choosing fresh:
- Authy is good if you want sync across multiple devices
- Microsoft Authenticator is good if you want backup to your Microsoft account
- Google Authenticator is the simplest option
What we don't support
EVIDENT doesn't currently support SMS-based 2FA, since SMS-based authentication is more vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks than app-based time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).
