Description
Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by adding a second step of verification when you sign in. This means that in addition to your password, you'll also need to enter a code that is generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
The verification code can be generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone, even if you don't have a network or mobile connection.
• Sync your Authenticator codes to your Google Account and across your devices. This way, you can always access them even if you lose your phone.
• Set up your Authenticator accounts automatically with a QR code. This is quick and easy, and it helps to ensure that your codes are set up correctly.
• Support for multiple accounts. You can use the authenticator app to manage multiple accounts, so you don't have to switch between apps every time you need to sign in.
• Support for time-based and counter-based code generation. You can choose the type of code generation that best suits your needs.
• Transfer accounts between devices with a QR code. This is a convenient way to move your accounts to a new device.
To use Google Authenticator with Google, you need to enable 2-Step Verification on your Google Account. To get started, visit http://www.google.com/2step

Ratings and Reviews
Not sure about all the negative reviews, works flawlessly
Works as it should 10 out of 10 times, extremely easy to use as well, these negative reviews are a bunch of bs.
Useless and broken
A week ago I opened the app and somehow all my accounts have been duplicated. I thought I should just remove the duplicates and that’s all. Before I started removing all of them I checked if I only removed one of them the other one will remain there and won’t be removed and yes, that was the case. I removed few of them but not all of them. Today I opened the app again to find all of my accounts were deleted only those remained which were duplicated and did not removed previously.
This is really infuriating to say the least. Fortunately all of my accounts had recovery codes but this is just unnaceptable.
This is a reminder to always save your recovery codes! And I recommend to find a BETTER authentication app because clearly your accounts ARE NOT SAFE on this app!
All accounts are lost with new Google Authenticator
I set up Google Authenticator years ago on my mobile , also added for Facebook 2factor auth. Since the new app version I can’t access on computer and iPad my Fb account , ad pages because Google Authenticator lost my Fb account. :-O It just disappeared from the authenticator.
As I see others lost other sites accounts authentications.
I changed phone, and earlier not really used Google authenticator, as FB itself had other way to authenticate inside their mobile app, what they stopped recently . Now I am trapped, I should authenticate with Google Authenticator but it lost my Fb account. There is no one in this planet who prints the recovery codes and remembers 4 years later where he/she put it. Isn’t it the world’s most famous company??? :-O
Fb support said this is Google error, they have to remove or restore my fb account. Google support is nonexistent, I can write emails to the black hole.
Google community support has many complaints posts about that, I didn’t see any solution. This is really outrageous.
