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 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 that 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 two-step verification on your Google Account. To get started visit http://www.google.com/2step Permission notice: Camera: Needed to add accounts using QR codes

The app works. However as an application it's a little... threadbare. Once you start adding multiple accounts there is no way to sort them. It just puts them in a list. You can sort them manually. But that is cumbersome. Another issue is that the timer on the right side is covered up for the very bottom entry. So the only way you know when the timer ends and the numbers change is to manually drag it up a line or two. Solution = Setup a dummy account and make sure it is last.

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!
