About Authy
At a glance
Authy is a cybersecurity company specializing in IAM, founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco, United States. It has raised $3.77M in total funding, employs about 3 people, and was acquired by Twilio in 2015.
Authy provides a two-factor authentication (2FA) application that helps users secure their online accounts beyond traditional username and password combinations. The company offers a free authenticator app that generates time-based verification codes for websites and services that support 2FA. The Authy app includes features such as secure cloud backup, multi-device support, and simple setup processes. Users can download the application to their devices and enable 2FA for various online accounts. When logging into a 2FA-enabled account, users must verify their identity through the Authy app on their device, which blocks unauthorized access even if login credentials have been compromised through data breaches. The solution addresses the growing security risks associated with password-only authentication, as data breaches and account takeover attempts continue to increase. By requiring a second form of verification through a user's device, Authy helps prevent hackers from accessing accounts using stolen credentials. Authy is owned by Twilio and serves individual consumers who want to protect their personal online accounts across multiple platforms and services. The company provides support resources and educational content about two-factor authentication and security best practices.
