About this app

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 cellular 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.

A company as big as Google! With terrible support. No response to customers, no respect for their customers, it's really terrible. I have lost my key for a long time and I can't recover it, they just mislead customers with irrelevant answers. Please provide a support for the two-step key app. The application scanner is disabled and does not work. It's really embarrassing.

Good for MFA but the 'privacy screen option' is not safe as it first shows the valid code in a flash before asking you to authenticate yourself with your phone's pin/pattern and after you do that, it still shows the same code that you could already see before. Also transfer by creating a QR-code didn't work at all between my Samsung phone and Samsung tablet: the app scans the QR code and quickly closes the scan mode without actually importing the code. Can't snapshot the screen!

After last update Authenticator dissapeared from my side panel and when I try to add it back then found that side panel simply doesn't see it in the list of other phone applications. It is on my phone but not visible for some features of the phone. Another headache is time synchrony. Well ..there is no such option at all. I decided to quit from Google and change all my 2FA's for another Authenticator.
