Proton Authenticator is very much like the other 2FA apps you've probably used in the past, including Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and third-party options like Authy. Proton's version stands out for being open-source and offering best-in-class security and encryption, plus zero ads or tracking.
Proton Authenticator is launching with apps for all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. (That desktop availability is also a unique selling point, as not even Microsoft nor Google offer desktop versions of their 2FA apps.) And if you have a free Proton Account, you can stay synced between all platforms.
This is great news for privacy-conscious users who want to move away from megacorporations like Microsoft and Google, and it's also great news for anyone who wants a desktop 2FA app. Proton offers a range of other privacy-focused solutions, including Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass.

And right now, the best-selling external DVD drive on Amazon is currently on sale. The Amicool USB CD/DVD drive is now just $20, down from its original $29 with this sizable 31% discount. (You'll need Prime to score this special price, but if you don't have Prime, you can get it at this price anyway just by signing up for a free 30-day Prime trial.)
Why the Amicool drive is so great
The Amicool drive comes with a USB 3.0 interface that transfers data at up to 5Gbps. That's fast enough for smooth working with large files, and it's also compatible with older USB standards, which is handy if you plan to use it with older laptops or PCs.
Thanks to plug-and-play, all you need to do is connect the drive via USB— no driver installations or power supply required. Almost all common formats are supported, from CD-R to DVD-RW, both for reading and burning. This makes it versatile for everything from making backups to digitizing old discs to installing older software.
Both USB-A and USB-C connectors are included here, so it's flexibly compatible with Windows PCs, MacBooks, and more. Mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets)
