6num

6num is a modern alternative to Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy.

6num – The fast, secure authenticator for 2FA. No ads, no tracking, local encryption, and optional backups in your own Nextcloud. Sort and categorize your codes with tags and profiles like "Private" or "Business," automatically load favicons for websites, use different color themes and countdown timers, and much more.

6num is available for free in Apple’s App Store for iOS devices and on Google Play, and was developed with the goal of providing an attractive 2FA app with numerous options for better organization.

Set up in seconds

Organize Clearly
