About Google Authenticator

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by adding a second step of verification when you sign in.

4. 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.

5. This way, you can always access them even if you lose your phone. * Set up your Authenticator accounts automatically with a QR code.

6. You can choose the type of code generation that best suits your needs. * Transfer accounts between devices with a QR code.

7. This is quick and easy, and it helps to ensure that your codes are set up correctly. * Support for multiple accounts.

8. 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.

Google Authenticator Customer Insights

1. Other solutions at least give you the option to periodically backup to the cloud - I'm just blown away that this isn't a capability for this app.I've been reading that Google Pixel phones are coming up as not being eligible for the new update for some reason.

2. I mean, sure it's great that I can now rename and change the order of all of my accounts, but I have a huge problem with remembering numbers and now that one basic accessibility option is no longer available and it can take two or three tries and retries for me to get it right! Bring back that accessibility feature and I'll up the rating!**UPDATE** I was pleased to hear that the syncing is now coming to this app, but from I hear the syncing isn't end-to-end encrypted.

3. I'm pretty close to removing this nowMy previous Android phone randomly died one day and wouldn't turn back on, so I lost my account and any way to log in to multiple apps.

4. Is this true and if so will it be? - Still, even now with the pixel 6, and the generations of phones that came before it, there is still no cloud backup for this app?! I almost made the mistake of NOT exporting my codes.

5. Also needs the ability to transfer to other platforms.The authentication works, but the user interface clearly had zero thought put into it whatsoever.

6. My apple devices on the other hand do have the syncing capability.

7. And now it has the same meaningless, indistinguishable icon as every other Google app to make it hard to even find and open.

8. I'm not sure what's going on but I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app multiple times to no avail.Seems to ask for verification at the appropriate moments, and far less burdensome than early systems.

9. Google desperately needs to provide a PIN code or biometric to access.

10. Seems to me some update to the Android system that caused the issue.

11. The way the appears in the play store has the old icon and doesn't have an option to sync but the screenshots show the new version.

  • Hello
    I would like my Google Authenticator account completely deleted because I don’t use it anymore. I also want to delete it because all the 2fa accounts that I had on there were deleted by me. I can’t remember my passwords or backup codes for the accounts I added on there. I would greatly appreciate if my person information can be deleted off of there as well. I had my phone number as the way to get the account registered. I am making this request under CCPA.

    Thank you.
