LoginTC vs Proton Authenticator

LoginTC is a multi-factor authentication platform that adds a second verification step to applications and systems. It offers cloud and on-premises plans, and can be deployed in hybrid or air-gapped environments. Authentication methods include push number matching, hardware tokens, authenticator apps, email and SMS passcodes, phone calls, security keys, biometrics, passcode grids, bypass codes, and offline authentication.

Connectors cover RADIUS VPN and remote access, Active Directory and LDAP, Outlook Web App, RD Web Access, Windows Logon and RDP, ADFS, and Entra ID EAM for Office 365. The REST API administers users, tokens, and domain membership and handles authentication sessions, but is limited to LoginTC Cloud deployments. LoginTC also lists adaptive access policies and passwordless authentication.

Proton Authenticator generates time-based one-time codes for two-factor authentication, adding a code at login to help secure accounts. It can display codes without an internet connection, and a Proton Account is not required to use it. Signing in is optional and enables code syncing across devices. Users can import codes from Google Authenticator, 2FAS, Aegis Authenticator, Bitwarden Authenticator, Ente Auth, and LastPass Authenticator, then export their codes from the app. Backups can be stored locally or in the cloud, with end-to-end encrypted sync between devices. Proton says its servers cannot access synced data in unencrypted form; when sync is on, entries are protected with 256-bit AES-GCM. The app is open source, and its vault can be unlocked with face or fingerprint recognition. It is available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows; Android is also available through F-Droid. Proton Authenticator is free on all listed platforms, with no ads or tracking.
