Azokle Auth vs FreeOTP+
FreeOTP+ is a minimal, open source TOTP app — and a privacy-respectable choice. Azokle Auth builds on the same privacy principles while adding iOS support, active maintenance, biometric security, and full HOTP/TOTP compliance.

The Empirical Privacy Proof
Verified evidence derived from RFC standards, source audits, and official privacy policies.
No App Lock — Your Codes Visible Without Authentication
FreeOTP+ does not implement an app-level PIN or biometric lock. Anyone with physical access to an unlocked device can open the app and view all TOTP codes immediately.
Azokle Auth enforces biometric or PIN authentication every time the app is opened. Even if your phone is unlocked, your 2FA codes require a second authentication step to view.
Infrequent Updates = Unpatched Vulnerabilities
FreeOTP+ has seen infrequent releases and extended periods without updates. Security vulnerabilities in the Android ecosystem or underlying libraries may go unpatched for months.
Azokle Auth follows a regular release cadence with security patches addressed within days of disclosure. Commercial backing means security issues cannot be deprioritised by volunteer availability.
No Token Organisation or Search
FreeOTP+ displays tokens as a simple list with no search, no grouping, no tags, and no ordering options. With many accounts, finding the right code becomes slow and error-prone.
Azokle Auth provides token search, grouping, and custom ordering — reducing the time your codes are visible on screen and minimising shoulder-surfing risk.
Both Share the Same Core Privacy Principles
FreeOTP+ and Azokle Auth share the most critical properties: open source, offline-first, no account, no cloud, zero telemetry. FreeOTP+ is a genuinely privacy-respecting choice.
Azokle Auth differentiates with iOS support, biometric app lock, active maintenance, token organisation, and native Azokle ecosystem integration — without compromising on any privacy property.
FreeOTP+ is a privacy-first authenticator that shares Azokle Auth's core values. The key gaps are: no app-level biometric lock, Android-only, infrequent updates, and no token organisation. Azokle Auth provides all the same privacy guarantees while adding security layers, cross-platform support, and active commercial maintenance.
