We are delighted to announce that SkypLabs has joined The Global Encryption Coalition!

The best way to present The Global Encryption Coalition is to cite its founding statement:

Encryption is a critical technology that helps keep people, their information, and communications private and secure. However, some governments and organisations are pushing to weaken encryption, which would create a dangerous precedent that compromises the security of billions of people around the world. Actions in one country that undermine encryption threaten us all.

As a global coalition, we call on governments and the private sector to reject efforts to undermine encryption and pursue policies that enhance, strengthen and promote use of strong encryption to protect people everywhere. We also support and encourage the efforts of companies to protect their customers by deploying strong encryption on their services and on their platforms.

The Google Authenticator mobile application has been around for more than a decade, allowing to generate Time-based One Time Passwords (TOTP) locally on platforms such as Android and iOS. A few days ago, an update was released adding a couple of new features, including the possibility to synchronise your TOTP secrets with Google.
