What’s New. - Added the ability to transfer many accounts to a different device - Added the ability of search for accounts - Added the ability to turn on Privacy Screen. Ratings and Reviews. Risky Choice for 2FA. Using an authenticator app for 2FA is seen as a top choice for securing access to sensitive accounts over other methods. However, when the app stops loading, and instead crashes on open, you can easily lose access to these accounts if you’re relying on the app for 2FA and you don’t have backup methods configured (or physically accessible to you in the moment). This app is quite terrible in terms of its support and user experience. It did work, at one point, and now it doesn’t which means that I can never rely on it again. I’ve been slowing shifting to the Microsoft Authenticator app which has a superior user experience and feature set, is substantially more reliable, and works. I would not use this app if I were you. Do not use this app! If you are in a situation where you are forced to use this app, be sure to keep backup codes so that you can access whatever applications you need to access in the event you lose your connection with Google authenticator. Because of a recent Facebook debacle and not knowing that it was necessary to save recovery codes with Google authenticator, I am now unable to access a 10+ year old Facebook account that includes some business connections. Facebook‘s issues are on them however, since I have a long-standing Google account, I don’t understand how I am unable to recover the connection with my Facebook account to allow me to get back in again. Is google authenticator completely unaffiliated with Google? Very disappointing and in 2021, I can’t believe things are this difficult for the average every day user. Bad Design. Google, just because you’re user base is FORCED to use this product doesn’t mean you should do the bare minimum. Did the developers think we would only need to store 10-20 accounts? One star review until there is a way to organize accounts by folder/category and export more than 10 accounts at a time. Come on! This is basic UI/UX stuff here. When you have a lot of accounts loaded it takes forever to find anything. And why would anyone only want to backup 10 accounts at a time? You should allow backup of All accounts or select accounts.

Google Authenticator will add a formidable layer of protection to your e-mail account. Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. The app (iOS/Android) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw, and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Next, set up two-step verification on your google account. Log into your google account. Under "Security and Sign-In" select "Two-Step Verification," and then scroll down to select the "Authenticator app" option. 3. Select your phone, Android or iPhone. 4. Open the actual Google Authenticator app your phone and tap the plus button: 5. At the bottom of your screen two options will show up, "Scan barcode" and "Manual entry." You only need to choose one of these options to complete the process. Using the "Scan barcode" option takes a bit longer to complete, requiring you to download a QR scanner from the app store and then pointing your phone at the QR code on your computer screen to verify Google Authenticator's connection with your account. In contrast, "Manual Entry" just means that google will send you a 16-digit code to an e-mail address. You then enter the code to complete the verification process: Make sure the "Time Based" option is toggled to ON, to ensure the code you're entering is aligned with the Authenticator's most recent passcode generation. Now, each time you log into the account you've connected with Google Authenticator, the account will ask you to enter a six-digit verification code. Simply open the Google Authenticator app, and the app will generate the new, randomized code for you to enter. (Remember, If you stay logged in, you won't need to go through the 2-FA process during each login. Congratulations. Your account is not only protected with two-factor authentication, but with the added security of Google's six-digit authenticator code.
