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
Difficult to set up due to time outs
And time taken to read and understand the conditions . No allowance made for poor connections thank u.
All codes just disappeared
I had a number of different accounts associated with my email address which is gmail. They’ve all just disappeared from the app. You’re left going round in circles online to try fix it but the only option I found was to contact individual companies and reset the 2FA. Then re add it.
All the bs from Google sources about having alternatives doesn’t really help when you didn’t know about them when setting up in the first place. Or adding to a new device and your accounts will synch, this just didn’t happen.
Disaster
After reading reviews it bewilders me that this app has not sorted out issues from 10 years ago that still seem to happen a lot. My account got wiped. Out of the blue. No codes nothing. No way to return them either. There doesn’t even seem to have been an update. I haven’t changed or done anything to my phone and here we are- I have to authorise every other account I had the Authenticator linked with, prove my identity with them and wait for them to approve. A nightmare!
