Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) May 24, 2023 -- Protectimus Limited, a trusted leader in two-factor authentication solutions, announces the release of the latest version of their free authenticator app Protectimus SMART OTP. The latest release delivers an end-to-end encrypted cloud backup feature, surpassing the capabilities of Google Authenticator. In addition, Protectimus SMART OTP users can now enjoy seamless token transfer, customizable tokens, PIN and biometric authentication, and an array of other features.

Protectimus SMART and Google Authenticator are both popular 2FA apps that offer cloud backup as a feature. However, there are several differences between them. Protectimus SMART authenticator provides a more secure cloud backup solution as it uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that the backup data is transmitted and stored securely. The Google Authenticator app also offers cloud backup but without end-to-end encryption.

Also, in the Protectimus SMART authenticator app, the user has the option to download their backup data into an encrypted file, which can then be stored in any secure place of their choosing. While the data is not stored directly in the cloud, this provides an extra layer of security and control for the user. They can choose to keep the encrypted backup file in a safe physical location or upload it to their own cloud storage account for added convenience.

Key Features of the Updated Protectimus SMART OTP Authenticator App

Enhanced Security and Control:

  • Encrypted cloud backup, secured with robust end-to-end encryption and a user-defined password, safeguards users' 2FA tokens, ensuring effortless recovery in the event of device loss or upgrade.

  • Outshining Google Authenticator, the Protectimus SMART's encrypted backup feature offers superior security and control over authentication data.

  • The users can effortlessly transfer tokens to a new phone and import tokens from Google Authenticator, ensuring a smooth transition to Protectimus SMART OTP and migration to a new phone.

Convenience and Customization:
