1. Introduction

Mauth is a Two-Factor Authentication app with support for TOTP and HOTP. It is also fully compatible with Google Authenticator.

While there are many 2FA authenticator apps out there, most of them come with an outdated UI/UX and functionality. Mauth aims to be as intuitive and feature-rich as possible, while also providing a beautiful Material You UI.

2. Objective
