Lockdown makes two-factor security less painful on iPhone

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/lockdown-makes-two-factor-security-less-painful-iphone' title="Lockdown makes two-factor security less painful on iPhone"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/09/lockdown_iphone6_hero.JPG?itok=9ELMDy2_' />[/url]</p> <p>Launched in time for the release of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, Lockdown is a new iOS app that allows you to easily manage your two-factor authentication keys across devices. It's like Google Authenticator, but on cross-service steroids.</p> <p>&lt;!—break—&gt;</p> <p>Lockdown works with all online services that are compatible with Google Authenticator, and includes features not found in other two-factor authenticator services, like the ability to sync keys across multiple devices, store recovery codes inside the app, as well as iCloud backup functionality.</p> <p>Here's a full list of features offered by Lockdown:</p> <ul><li>Ability to sync your account information via iCloud to multiple devices (and soon to Lockdown for Mac) </li> <li>Ability to restore your accounts when upgrading to a new device, or when restoring iOS to an existing device</li> <li>Automatic setup with a 2D barcode provided by an online service</li> <li>Ability to sort and find accounts based on favorites</li> <li>Ability to store backup Recovery Codes for emergency account access </li> <li>You can share the one-time passwords generated by Lockdown through Copying, Messaging, or Email. </li> <li>One-time passwords can be spoken using the dictation feature in iOS. Simply double-tap the one-time password to have it spoken for hands-free typing, or use the share menu options.</li> </ul><p>An update to Lockdown is currently in the works, which will include Touch ID support, and a second update is being planned that will see the launch of a Safari extension that allows users to generate onetime passwords directly from the browser.</p> <p>Interested in what Lockdown has to offer? Head on over to the App Store to buy the app, and let us know what you think of it.</p> <ul><li>$3.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lockdown-better-two-factor/id916054132?ls=1&amp;mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul></div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27241"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3ebf0065/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
