Church Authenticator Customer Insights

1. -- Developers, you may want to add a section to the app's description to explain to people that code generation can't simply be moved to another device, and that it's very important to keep the backup codes or enable other backup authentication methods offered when setting up 2FA on any site in case you lose access to the current installation of the authenticator app.--Sent my Pixel 3XL to Google to replace the display.

2. So as directed, I open my church authenticator app, but it also instructs to enter a code texted to my phone.

3. NO MORE TEXT MESSAGE CODES FOR MY TWO-STEP AUTHENTICATION!!! YAY!!!This app doesnt recognize the qr code, and also says every code given on the website is invalid.

4. (Using Samsung Galaxy S9.) Would be nice if the church login worked with other similar apps like Duo Mobile (since that's the one I use at work).

5. After reinstalling all my apps, it won't text codes to my phone for verification anymore.

6. Why is all this secrty necessary? It church information, not my SS# or bank acct number... No explanation helpI can't say how much I love this app...it's a simple thing...but it saves a lot of headache.

7. Which now means I can't pay tithing since church isn't currently happening.Works fine, correctly generates codes for all my 2FA logins.

8. when I first started using this app when I tried to log in it would send me a are you trying to log in question and tapping yes would allow me to login.

9. Why develop their own app when most of us already use two-factor ID apps for work or other sites?There is nothing but a white screen when the app opens.

10. I have no way to set the app up on my new phone because I can't sign in to get a new code.

11. When O make a new password it is never good enough, it wants multiple words numbers and symbols, how am I to remember this? I need to track down paper & pen each time I go through all of this.
