Step Two
What Step Two is
Step Two is an authenticator app for online accounts that use time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), including Google, Twitter, and Amazon. It generates six-digit codes automatically, with each code valid for 30 seconds. The app supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and a Safari extension. iCloud can optionally back up preferences and verification codes and make them available across devices. Apple encrypts iCloud data in transit and at rest, and the maker says it cannot access that data. Without iCloud, Step Two data stays on the device. The Safari extension can suggest accounts and autofill codes, but requires access to visited pages. The maker says it does not explicitly collect usage or analytics information. Step Two is a free download with a 10-account limit. Setapp availability is also listed; Setapp collects usage information about subscribed apps, while Step Two data is not shared with Setapp.
