*Authenticator is a portable OTP/Two-Factor Authentication tool for Windows that provides a user-friendly interface and allows you to copy the login code instead of manually entering it from your phone.*
Authenticator provides an alternative solution to combine various two-factor authenticator services in one convenient place.
It works with counter or time-based RFC 6238 authenticators and common implementations, such as the Google Authenticator.
----
## What does it look like?
Here's a preview of the app's UI running on Windows 10:
[
](https://github.com/sergiye/authenticator/raw/master/preview.png)
Also there are:
- `Auto`/`Light`/`Dark` themes integrated into executable.
- Custom `themes` supported from external files
To add custom theme to the app, just create a `themes` folder next to the executable file and place any {themeName}.json files there.
Custom theme.json file content example:
```json
{
"DisplayName": "Custom Theme",
"DarkMode": true,
"BackgroundColor": "#1E1E1E",
"ForegroundColor": "#E9E9E9",
"HyperlinkColor": "#00D980",
"SelectedBackgroundColor": "#4CBB17",
"SelectedForegroundColor": "#000000",
"LineColor": "#262626",
"StrongLineColor": "#454545",
"WarnColor": "#FF4500"
}
```
Don't forget to restart the app to scan for new theme files!
