Secure 2FA with TOTP code

Entering only a user name and password when logging in is no longer secure today. Almost all leading online platforms therefore offer the option of logging in with an additional component.

This multi-factor authentication (MFA), also known as two-factor authentication (2FA), protects your user account from misuse and identity theft to a high degree, even if the username and password have been spied out.

My online accounts are protected and safe. Authenticator has so many advantages, thanks to it I can always surf with a tense feeling everywhere. Really great, thanks a lot!

The device is great and protects the account associated with it. By printing the setup page with the QR code, you can be sure that you are using a new device.

I find this offline solution much more secure and convenient than an authenticator app. So for me, this is the ideal solution. I am more than satisfied! Clear recommendation

I need secure Internet accounts, not only privately, but also for work. REINER SCT Authenticator helps me with this and does an excellent job. No matter where I am, it is always with me.

I really liked the idea of not using my mobile phone or smartphone for 2-step authentication. This can be lost quickly times or fall off. Top product!

What is the difference between authentication and authentification ?

The terms authentication and authentification are often used synonymously in common parlance, but they describe different subprocesses, e.g., of a logon procedure.

A user AUTHENTICATES himself to a system by means of unique credentials. The system then checks the validity of the data used, it AUTHENTIFICATES the user.

Frequently asked questions

What does two-factor authentication mean?

A 2-factor authentication is, as the name suggests, an identification through the combination of two different factors. This is familiar, for example, when withdrawing money from an ATM: This only works by means of a bank card (factor 1) and the associated PIN number (factor 2). One factor alone is ineffective. And this 2-factor authentication is a good way to protect your online accounts from unauthorized access.

Is two-factor authentication the most secure solution?

Logging into digital user accounts via user name and password is no longer considered secure today. Almost all leading online platforms therefore offer the option of logging in with an additional component. The time-based one-time password procedure, or TOTP for short, is usually used for this purpose. Many providers integrate their customers’ smartphones for this purpose and provide an authenticator app. However, smartphones only have a low level of security, so the TOTP can easily be spied out.

What is the biggest advantage of 2FA?

The biggest advantage of two-factor authentication is that stolen credentials are not enough to gain access to a password-protected system or account. To gain full access to the account or files, you need the second factor. The safest way is to use an external one-time password generator.

Why does the Office for Security recommend: 2FA ?

The so-called two-factor authentication (2FA) is an essential contribution to the protection of the user account against misuse and identity theft. The reason: If the user name and password should ever fall into the wrong hands, criminals still cannot compromise the account because they lack the other components. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) therefore expressly recommends the use of a 2FA.

If the TOTP code is no longer displayed?

If the TOTP codes entered in your application can no longer be displayed, you can simply resynchronize the internal clock of the REINER SCT Authenticator via the REINER SCT synchronization page www.reiner-sct.com/sync. This will keep your Authenticator up to date for years.

Why is a 2FA app insecure?

Smartphones have only low security and so the TOTP can be easily spied out. REINER SCT Authenticator offers you the ultimate protection for your online accounts.

Why an Authenticator from REINER SCT?

REINER SCT is a specialist for protection in the digital world. This includes readers for smart cards – especially for secure online banking. The Authenticator recognizes through the built-in camera, the authentication data displayed by your account in the form of a QR code in a flash and assigns it to an account in the REINER SCT Authenticator. The hardware-based second factor makes it impossible to access your External Authenticator. Save up to 60 accounts of your choice in your Authenticator and benefit immediately from two-factor authentication.
