At Devolutions, we’re committed to creating products that help you control the IT chaos in your environment, so that you can keep your data, users, customers, and reputation safe from insider threats and hackers. For example, you can easily store credentials and other sensitive information in encrypted and ultra-secure vaults with Remote Desktop Manager, Devolutions Password Server or Devolutions Password Hub.
In addition, we’re also big fans of two-factor authentication (2FA) as an extra layer of security, which is why our products integrate with popular 2FA tools such as Duo, Google Authenticator, Yubikey and AuthAnvil. Well, today I’m delighted to announce that we’re adding our very own 2FA tool to the roster: say hello to Devolutions Authenticator!
About Devolutions Authenticator
Devolutions Authenticator is our new, free and easy-to-use 2FA companion tool that you can use with ALL of your online accounts — not just with our products. As we learned in Max’s article “5 Cybersecurity Quick Wins,” 2FA is one of the easiest and smartest ways to improve security by using something you know (username + password) with something you have (device).
