Cons
1. **Limited Compatibility:**
OTPKEY Authenticator primarily supports OTP-based authentication, which may not work with services requiring other forms of two-factor authentication, restricting its usability across different platforms.
2. **Dependence on a Single Device:**
If installed on a PC, access to your OTPs is limited to that machine. Should the computer be inaccessible or fail, you could be temporarily locked out of your accounts.
3. **Lack of Cloud Sync:**
Without a cloud synchronization feature, you cannot easily transfer your OTP accounts to a new device, complicating the process of migrating to a new PC or in the event of a hardware upgrade.
