What Zoho OneAuth is
Zoho OneAuth is a free authenticator for Zoho work accounts and personal online accounts. It supports time-based one-time passwords, push approvals and QR-code login, and can offer passwordless sign-in for Zoho accounts. For organizations, Zoho Directory provides a way for IT administrators to configure multifactor authentication across employees’ Zoho accounts. OneAuth also supports third-party accounts including Google, Adobe, Github, Zoom, X, Instagram and LinkedIn. A passphrase can help restore access after a device is lost or reset, or the app is removed, and helps synchronize OTP codes between devices. Encrypted backups and multi-device sync are supported. Biometrics can unlock the app, and the app can remove unwanted sessions remotely. A sign-in restriction can block future logins to a Zoho account until it is disabled. OneAuth is available for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, and works on phones, tablets, laptops, smart watches and desktops.
