How we write guides
A guide that's wrong about a security setting is worse than no guide. These are the rules we follow.
Who writes the guides
The guides are written by the team that makes Authenticator App - Novaz. Each guide explains a two-factor authentication problem in general, then shows the steps in Novaz. The Novaz steps describe what the app actually does: its screens, button names and messages in the current version.
How guides are checked
- Against the app. Each guide states the app version its Novaz steps were checked against. Steps, button names and messages are checked on that version before publishing. When a new version changes something, we update the guide and its date.
- Only what the app does today. We don't describe features that are planned or that exist only in marketing copy. If a common feature is missing, such as iCloud backup in version 1.0.3, we say so.
- About other services. Before we publish steps for setting up two-factor authentication on a particular website, we follow them on a real account, take our own screenshots, and note the date we checked. If we couldn't test something, the guide says so and links to the service's own help.
Use of AI tools
We sometimes use AI writing tools to help draft or edit text. A person checks every claim, step, title and description against the app or the service before it's published. AI-generated text isn't published unchecked, and we don't use AI-generated people, photos or reviews.
Dates
The "Updated" date on a guide changes only when its content changes. It isn't refreshed automatically.
No paid placements
No one pays to be mentioned or ranked on this site. When we compare Novaz with other apps, we include the places where Novaz falls short.
Corrections
