Yandex Key – your passwords
iOS Universel / Utilitaires
Yandex Key is an authenticator generating one-time passwords (OTP) for Yandex, Facebook, Google, GitHub, Dropbox, Vk.com, and other services with two-factor authentication (2FA). To log in to Yandex, enter this one-time password instead of your regular password, and to sign in to other services, with your normal password.
— Several digits or fingerprint
You no longer have to invent complex passwords to protect your Yandex account. There are just from 4 to 16 digits to memorise: they’ll be used by Yandex Key to generate a unique one-time password valid for less than a minute. Or you can use Touch ID and just put the finger instead of typing pin.
— Data protection
Yandex Key safeguards your account from being hacked and your personal information from being stolen. One-time passwords will be available only to you, on your mobile device.
— Easy setup
You can add accounts manually, by entering the data from the service you want to use, or automatically, by scanning a QR-code provided by this service.
— Offline use
Yandex Key doesn’t need internet connection to add accounts and generate one-time passwords, and you don't need to wait for an SMS with your password.
— Additional features
The Key can general six- and eight-digit passwords, depending on the service’s requirements. Besides, the Key can update one-time passwords at different intervals, not necessarily once in every 30 seconds (this depends on the service).
— Security standards
Yandex Key supports two-factor authentication (or two-step verification) on all services using RFC 6238 and RFC 4226, except for services which only use sms.
— Backing up
Back up the data in Yandex Key on Yandex's servers, to use in case something happens to your device. It's secure: you backup is encrypted using a password that only you know.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Now you can create a backup file and store it wherever it's convenient — on your computer, a flash drive, or in any password manager app.
The file will help you restore access if you accidentally delete Yandex Key app, lose access to your phone, or want to transfer accounts between devices.
But be careful: this backup file is like a master key to all your doors. Don’t share it with anyone and don’t store it in the cloud without strong protection. If the file falls into the wrong hands, you could lose access to your accounts.
Want everything stored automatically? You can still save backups in Yandex’s secure cloud — that option is still available. Choose what works best for you.
