An improved two-factor authentication app. Currently, two-factor auth is done through SMS texting or TOTP (Google Auth). With SMS, a hacker can use SIM cloning or spoofing to get the authentication code. With TOTP, a hacker can use fishing attacks. To solve this, we combine the best of SMS and TOTP.
