Description
Google Authenticator works with 2-Step Verification for your Google Account to provide an additional layer of security when signing in.
With 2-Step Verification, signing into your account will require both your password and a verification code that you can generate with this app. Once configured, you can get verification codes without the need for a network or mobile connection.
Features include:
- Automatic setup via QR code
- Support for multiple accounts
- Support for time-based and counter-based code generation
- Transfer of accounts between devices via QR code
To use Google Authenticator with Google, you need to enable 2-Step Verification on your Google Account. Visit http://www.google.com/2step to get started.

Ratings and Reviews
Timer Icon
It would have been more comfortable to use actual numerical value for showing the time left instead of the circular icon. People tend to feel that the time for them to take token is very short because they really don't know how much time left by just looking at the icon. Or maybe, along with the timer icon, they can also display the actual numeric value of the time left.
Great 2FA app
I have been always wanting a 2nd factor authentication for my gmail account as these days its not difficult for smart hackers to get your password esp. when login at public places like cybercafes. This 2FA device which works like a VPN provides extra comfort.
You also have backup codes in case you dont have access to the phone, hence the app.
Update to iOS 14.2 will crash the app
The app will crash after update to iOS 14.2. There is a way to recover the data but the app should be updated to avoid inconvenience.
