Total garbage. Not only it gives me incorrect codes for logging into my accounts but I also got locked out and spent endless hours to restore access. Two factor authentication sounds like a great idea - if only you wouldn't rely on an unreliable third party app from an untrusted sneaky company like Google.

It's so secure that I can't even recover my two factor authentication settings after hard resetting or losing/change phone. Some accounts are really hard or impossible to reset, so I'm not convinced of the real benefits of this app. Actually I've been through some issues because of that and I'm trying to avoid using the app again...

Great and smart app. I workd perfectly once u set it up well nojist installing it. Those who go about giving negative feedback shd kindly first learn how to use the apps before coming up to write reviews. Or they shd stop getting peanuts from the competition for negative reviews and be genuine. Mtchewww

It is good but! What if i accidentally uninstall this app or it has been accidentally removed by others. How i am going to restore all the data ? It is not connected on any account like google mail, yahoo etc. To recover all of this codes. Please pay attention to my feedback!

Like the authenticator but I wish it would keep the keys so I don't have to go through the trouble of re doing everything just to scan the QR code for two factor. It's a pain in the ass! Eh that's why I got LastPass...

Good app which works well. My only complaint would be that the app itself doesn't have a security aspect to it (i.e fingerprint/pin access) so if your phone is unlocked it doesn't keep the extra layer of security it is designed to do. Otherwise all is good!

This works great for what it does support (Facebook, DropBox, Linux ssh, Google WordPress), I wish more organizations would adopt it. A bit ironic that what services are supported this app affords more security than most online banking. I would agree with what others say, perhaps allowing other devices for backup (as opposed to securely maintaining codes for each service), would be handy. The biggest pro is this is very easy to use. I find two-factor SMS very obnoxious and could never really fully adopted for services I use daily; this I can. Update: Backup is now an option. It looks like it may be possible to do multiple devices, but I haven't tried that.

Reset 2-Factor Authentication I have thoroughly enjoyed this app since installation. The problem now however is I'm unable to "Reset 2-Factor Authentication as directed".Account was restricted due to "Profile locked due too many failed attempts".That happened in the first instance because the app refused to open beyond the first page.Please look into this.Thanks.

Life-sucking app.. Unspecified procedures and improper backup and retrieval. Once you accidentally reset your device...you wait till the end of world to get rid of this 2FA.. NEXT TIME GO WITH AUTHY,..

So I managed to set up one account fine through scanning. Now it won't scan anymore barcodes so can't even set up accounts! I downloaded a different scanner to confirm it's not my camera. Very upset. What should I do because the only authenticator the websites accepts is google authenticator.

This app has started giving me garbage codes for at least two of my logins which is in danger of losing me access to money. Not something you can rely on, dangerous in fact

Can you guys make it much more time saving to use this app. Make it by just tapping on the code would immediately copy it rather than tap&hold and copy. Many times due to this minute waste of time i have to wait till the new codes are refreshed to do it and its darn annoying...

It's a great way to secure accounts and services. But there's no way to recover your linked services if you change devices or reset your device for some reason. I'm locked out of my favorite app because of this. Help me, Google.

Simple and works well. I would LOVE to see some more customization support. It would be nice to add colors per service. (i.e: Red for my google account, Orange for my AWS account...) and icons on the line to the right of the rotating key. (I.E. I could add an AWS icon, and a google Icon.) Lame that the apple one has more features than the google one as far as flashing when your key is about to rotate... But it works.

🔴20170925 Seriously! Why do you guys/gals touch stuff that doesn't need to be touched?! Now we cannot create custom names?! I don't need someone getting a hike or my phone and be able to identify which 2FA belongs too which account. And then when I delete the name, I'm left with parenthesis?! Come on with simple scripting. Also, your long press to copy also activates the selection mode to edit the list. This is why I suggested a One-tap copy feature for simplicity. What's going on?! Do you guys/gals use the services you put out?! I'm about to stop if you guys do not care whether or not your services are operational for ease of use. You're work speaks louder than you're words. 🔵20160926 But instead of long pressing to copy.. can you guys just modify the app to perform a copy on one tap? That would be much simpler.. sometimes we do need to access our account through the phone's browser.. does your Devs even use the apps they create?!

This application is the easiest way to lock yourself out from your account. If you didn't note down the recovery code basically you are f***ed. The most useless app I have ever seen.

The codes never work. I end up having to go back to sending a text, which actually works fine, but if I'm doing that, I don't need this app. Also was a problem when I got my new phone. I don't love it for sure.

Installed app again as phones can be cloned, so text or call verification is not fully safe. Only works on default device, so when I changed phones, it did not work and I removed it. Instead I should have changed the default phone number using a computer.

Everything is fine. But many people face problem when the phone lost or when they restore phone. Because after that we never recover added authenticator code. So please resolve this issue .. and apps is fine. I loved it

Great Way To Increase Your Login Security For Many Sites. I just wish there was a way to backup your data to your Google account in case your phone is lost, stolen or damaged.

I stopped using Google authenticator in favour of Authy which supports encrypted cloud backup of 2FA codes in addition to Windows, Mac OS and a Chrome browser extension. It is far more versatile and equally user friendly. I would consider coming back here if such features were added. Otherwise it does the job its intended to do.

I don't like this. I don't want to risk getting locked out if a code I already used once can't be used again. I wish Discord used SMS to mobile number verification for TFA. Androids do break and my last one didn't last a year if I recall.

Wiped all my accounts (at last update?) In any case all my accounts r gone and codes from my backup phone are not accepted. So back to old fashioned and codes, screw this app

Good until you need to factory reset your phone (which you will because it's android). Settings don't get backed up, so you're left in a mess. Totally inadequate functionality.

App does not opening itself, when code arrived. Must open manually. It is a security problem because i don't see, if someone is trying to hack my systems. Otherwise nice app.

It's great when it works, but every time I get a new phone or get a replacement phone, the data transfer doesn't transfer any accounts tied to my Google authenticator app. This forces me to use up a backup code, disable 2 factor for that account, then re-enable, scan the code with the new phone, then save the backup codes again. This is tedious when you have a lot of accounts that use Google authenticator for two-step verification. Please find a way to make this more friendly for people changing devices!!!

Simple and straight-forward. Supports QR scanning, the dark theme is very nice. It lacks any kind of backup, though. There should be an option to make an offline database backup and export it to a PC. It would kinda decrease the security but, if handled properly (with encryption), it wouldn't be so bad and would also save a lot of people from some terrible headache when changing phones. Any plans for this in the near future?

Please make it so that the actions for "copy" and "move item" are different. Ideally copy would be a single tap. It is hard to use at the moment.

Can't restore all of your authentications if you restore the app. What the hell is the point of this, so now I'm completely locked out of all my accounts after having to factory reset my phone. Garbage app.

Does not work. I'm typing in the exact code generated and it still says incorrect. I've got the latest version and time synced it. To make it worse when I choose the other option to send me the code via text that doesn't work either!

It was working fine until it did a automatic update without letting me know. Now it doesn't work anymore on Samsung Galaxy S2. Disappointed at devs

Real problem if lost phone I can't login to my account because my phone lost. Be careful!

How to disable google authentication for any website..?? I can not login for that website now.. Please help me otherwise I will be in huge loss due to this authenticator.

The app work, but you will have a problem when you loose phone or need to use other phone, as this app will not be restored in a device restore, so impossible to get fx 20 authentications working again. You will need to spend several hours setting up all your accounts from scratch.

I love this application because of this my all online identifies are protected and safe.but i need a feature in this application when my phone was formatted i got into trouble if i wouldn't have backup codes i will not be able to access my accounts.please add local backup import/export option in authenticator. So that if someone loses backup codes and uninstall app will easily access his/her accounts after reinstalling.

I had to reset my Android phone for some reason and its all gone. I had around 10-15 accounts added to the app and I have none. I see no option to restore those..m having hard time now am locked out of all other accounts I have added 2 step for.

I lost me my app data and now there seems no way to recover it.. Google, please help, as I am stuck with a few accounts (not able to login at all)

Please fix the copying problem. I just want to copy the code, not to rearrange the accounts list or delete them.

The app works perfectly. But it needs to remember the accounts that are added to it (please add login option) so that the accounts can be recovered in the process of accidental uninstallation.

This app was good up to a certain point, but now it is useless and will force people to contact the support staff of every site they have dual authentication active to remove it. Google claims there is no problem, but there is with communicating with the server to syncing for time corrections, but doesn't specify the exact reason for the error. This hits some harder than others, for me and other gamers that use Two-Step Authentication to secure accounts. And it gamers are affected by this, so are a lot of people as well. If you don't have issues with this app, you're lucky it's working.
