Ratings and reviews

I've been using the app for several years for 2-factor authentication. I wish I never would have started using it. First, the latest update doesn't work. I'm unable to access authentication data I've set up for over 20 sources. Second, there's no way to backup your data or migrate it elsewhere. Which is why I've hung onto this app for so long. I'm thinking I really should probably just be happy the Forgerock update screwed up all of my two factor authentication accounts I had set up. Now I can set up Google Authenticator, which offers backups and data transfers.

I don't understand why no data backup or data transfer option available. What a stupidity. How many year a phone needs to be used without changing it so that this aap can be used? And do the phones receive unlimeted OS updates so that we can stick on to tjis app? What if the phone gets some problem and the service centre says they need to reflash or Factory reset the phone? This app is just a pain to use. No backup amd dat migration features. Outdated thought process.

the authenticator works fine in principle but is missing an export function. I just got a new phone and wanted to transfer all my OATH factor codes to the new one, but there is no export or transfer option! That means setting up two factor authentication again for >10 accounts that I used to manage with forgerock. I won't use it again on the new phone, that's for sure.
