I've used this app for over a year without issue, and it has served me well. However, as noted by others, it's been a while since it's received an update. There is also no way to backup/retrieve secrets. As such, unfortunately, I've decided I should switch to andOTP, which appears to be current and actively developed as well as being capable of backups, etc., while still remaining free and open source

Does what it has to do but very minimalistic. The main reason I wanted this is because it automatically hides your code after a while. On the iphone version you can choose to require fingerprint authorization, but on the android version this feature is absent which makes it almost the same as other authenticators to me.

This works fine, however it's hopelessly outdated and looks like it's abandonware at this point. Key features like displaying the secret or an export/backup function are painfully missing from this. Other apps which are also open source have a clear advantage in these regards nowadays.

Not a flashy as others, but I think it has been well vetted. I read that these apps should stop screen capture when running where as other will know OTP apps don't. That is a BIG security flaw. Some well-known OTP authenticators forgot to include that feature.

I installed it on my phone then I changed my phone and it doesn't support latest Android which leads me to a bigger problem that I can't access to my hosting account.

I have 2 cameras on my device, and the app chooses the wide angle one, which cannot focus on the QR code on the paper. There is no way to change this behavior. I cannot therefore scan the QR code

About this app

FreeOTP adds a second layer of security for your online accounts. This works by generating one-time passwords on your mobile devices which can be used in conjunction with your normal password to make your login nearly impossible to hack. These passwords can be generated even when your phone is in airplane mode.

FreeOTP works with many of the great online services you already use, including Google, Facebook, Evernote, GitHub and many more! FreeOTP also may work for your private corporate security if they implement the standardized TOTP or HOTP protocols. This includes great enterprise solutions like FreeIPA.

FreeOTP is open source and free software! Licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, you can obtain the source code for FreeOTP at https://fedorahosted.org/freeotp for review or modification. Contributions are welcome!
