Jatayu vs Authy
Locked out of Authy because of your phone number, or lost the desktop app?
Jatayu signs you in with Google or email, and doesn't take apps away.
Authy ties your account to a phone number and shut down its desktop apps in 2024, logging people out. Jatayu uses the account you already have and keeps codes and passwords together.

Why people switch from Authy.
Your desktop app was switched off?
Passwords on the web.
Your Jatayu passwords open in any browser, so you're not stuck when you're on a computer.
Worried your number was exposed?
There's no number to leak.
In 2024 attackers matched 33 million phone numbers to Authy accounts. Jatayu never asks for yours.
Still need a password manager too?
It's built in.
Authy only makes codes. Jatayu saves your passwords and shows each login's code next to it.
Side by side.

How to switch

- 3Keep the old app until every code in Jatayu works.
When Authy is enough
If your phone number is stable and you only need codes on your phone, Authy still works. Jatayu suits you if you'd rather not depend on a number, or want passwords in the same app.
Try Jatayu on your phone.
