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.

The application regularly resets on dual sim phones / Project Fi. This occurs every time the phone changes carriers. I lose access to my Square Enix Account every time this occurs. The work around to correct this was to disable phone permissions for the application. However, an update made over the summer prevents the application from running when this permission is not enabled. This results in an unusable security token. The application does not work as advertised and I would not recommend using it. If you play FF14 and are on Project Fi, buy a physical token or play a different game.
