Even if you think you've got a password that's super safe and secure, you can never be sure where they are stored—Authy is an app that provides a way to make your online profiles much safer by pairing passwords with your mobile device.
The app is like a two-step authentication that requires you to go through a phone, but Authy makes this process stronger. When logging into your online profiles, Authy requires you to plug in your password and login information and on top of this, Authy asks you to add an ever-changing code to complete sign-in. Since this code is always updating and not your password, you don't have to worry about remembering anything new, all you have to do is take an extra step to make sure your social profiles are extra protected.
