2FAS Auth is the pick for people who want an authenticator that never asks who they are. There is no account: 2FAS says use is 100% anonymous and that it does not store passwords or metadata. Tokens live on your device, and you decide whether to back them up to the cloud or export them manually. The app supports both TOTP and HOTP codes, and you can sort tokens into groups with badges, icons and labels. Its most useful extra is the 2FAS browser extension, which lets you send a code from your phone to the browser in one tap instead of typing six digits. There is an Apple Watch app as well, and 2FAS publishes its source code and a cryptography white paper. The limits: there is no full desktop app, codes on a computer go through the extension, and the current iOS release needs iOS 18.6 or later, which older iPhones may not run.
