Ratings and reviews

GoogleFi users please read! If you use Fi make sure that when you start the app you are on the same network that you were on when you registered the app. This'll save you from having to reset the damn thing. You can use an app like FiSwitch to check this and change easily. Of course if they used an otp standard that could be used by other apps this wouldn't be a problem.

Security is a high priority and adding a 2FA method is important to me. With that said, I have used this app several times over the years only to have it "forget" or lose its settings which would lock me out of my account quite often. After a long break away from Square-Enix products I decided to reinstall and give this app another try... after all, it has been a few years. Did they make it better? Nope. It's still as much of a piece of junk as it always has been.... get the physical token.

Update: Still 1star, it looks like the issues from a year ago still exist. Was working fine, until it wasn't, the app reset and now I can't log into my account or the game. Original issue: It will not save credentials. Works for the first 2 days or so and then all the information is lost, causing to have to use the emergency password recovery. So that makes this app useless.
