Updated version have resolved many issues and added me features 😃 Wow! UI los and feel so good. Simple yet powerful enough & dark theme is my fav. Finally Google had listened to our voices and upgraded the app 😋

Excellent I use gauth to provide 2FA for ssh logins, su/sudo attempts, Gmail, aws... and I also use it for work. It's practical security done, seemingly, very well. My only complaint is a UI problem. I have a lot of keys and the existing display options have no company option. It's frustrating to scroll through the list, especially when we could easily have a font size option as well as compact themes to reduce whitespace.

Material design strikes functionality down again I didn't think it was possible, but they made the app worse. The core functionality is still there, and if all you have is 1-4 accounts that need codes, then it will work great. But the "material design" theme removes content and adds needless white space. On my phone, it only fits 4 accounts on screen. The text is no bigger, they just fluffed everything up with blank space. Though they did manage to shrink the countdown wheel (arguably as important as the code) to a tiny spec, for no reason.

UI needs work Functionally it works perfectly, but ui and usability is poor. I have 16 accounts with 2fa.....no way to organise the accounts or search. If you want Google authenticator to become synonymous with 2fa and people to adopt it for more of their accounts.....please fix.

Perfect 2FA By all means the best kind of 2FA available. Google Authenticator is a great implementation of it. However, the app was made closed source for seemingly no good reason, which is something I find rather problematic with a security tool like this.

UI worse The text us now smaller so harder to read, but the gaps between codes are larger, so mine don't all fit on one screen anymore. When it says "new dark theme," it means there's a new light theme and it's the default. Selecting the dark theme brings the old colours back.

Not the most secure I would like to have just one code viewable at a time. Maybe organised in cards or pages. To show all codes in one page is a privacy issue and a small security risk in public space. Another wish is to have the font size adjustable.

Really good. I'm missing the option to rearrange codes. On Android Wear it's annoying to swipe left many times to reach my most frequently used codes. UPDATE: Thank you Google. You guys rock!

Amazing Design but... Switching phones is a pain becuz there's no way to transfer all of the accounts u put into this authenticator to another phone with the same authenticator.

New UI not an improvement! Why has the account name now taken second place to the code? This makes it more difficult to find the right account in the list. And the timeout disc might as well not be there it's so small. Definitely a backward step.

Was more user friendly in previous versions Simple and does the job. My only gripe now is that they've spaced everything out so you have to scroll for much longer to go through your accounts. Shame, as the new look is otherwise OK.

This app was great when I used on my old phone but I've now switched phones and can no longer use on the website my old phone was originally connected to. I've uninstalled and wiped my old phone in hopes it would help me access the correct Authenticator number but I'm still having no luck.

What on earth is going on with the new layout/design of this app? It's been materialised.. however.. theres now TINY text, and MASSIVE spaces of nothing-ness for now reason.. I have like 25 codes.. and can now see 5 at a time.. Can someone at google actually try installing the app and do a quick test before releasing it? Its terrible now.. It was fine before. Please put it back to closer to what it looked like before, as the current version is a mess.

UI change is absolutely awful Before this update I was able to fit six to seven codes on my screen. I don't understand why you would want to create so much wasted space. I can fit just four now. Aside from the space, the used colors make it very bland. I still like the functionality, but why change something that was already working perfectly.

Would rearrange swathes of whitespace again. Being able to rearrange entries is a welcome addition, but the updated design is the new poster child for complaints about gratuitous whitespace/padding in Material Design. Maybe tone it down a notch and increase information density slightly.

Superb addition of Wear support, nice one Google Glad that the dark theme has made a return, but now you've made the countdown icons so small as to be almost useless, so still loses a star.

Miss the old version So finally a dark theme always nice. But! New look ugly as hell, not to mention the circle timer for codes is smaller now. Looking for new Auth program.

2 step. Microsoft does a much better job with 2 step. Approve or deny!! Fiddling with numbers is needlessly fiddly. The spinning circles are way too small.

Dark theme is back! Thank you for bringing dark theme back, you can even rearrange accounts now by long pressing on the account you want to move and then dragging that account from the left hand side of the screen to a new order placement. I'm personally not a huge fan of the new font in the app but at least dark mode is back.

I HAVE MAJOR PROBLEM I hv uninstall my authenticator so I have lost my previous scanned codes..please any one suggest me how to get that codes..

Total crap You made me spend at least an hour to figure out on my own how to get it to work again, and I missed being able to print out resumes at Kinkos for a job fair.

So much better with the update! I'm glad they've adopted the split three digits, built in a a QR reader, and added a dark mode. It's no longer a useful, but ugly utility. Well done!

Good but.... ...whoever made the decision to shrink the count down timer (to a little tiny dot) should be kicked off the dev team. How is that an improvement?

Updated to reorder accounts! Finally, such simple functionality is here. You can now rearrange accounts by long pressing on the account, then dragging up/down using the icon on the left that appears.

Awesome 2 step authentication very handy for protection, my only concern is switching phones soon and transferring all my accounts is gonna be a pain as no backup of data.

Finally an Integrated Barcode Scanner The previous app made us download a separate scanner app with many unncessary permissions. I'm happy to see that has changed!

Wow, just when you think it can't get any worse... Now I need a magnifying glass just to see my token. I have 12 different accounts, and I need a second set of thumbs just to scroll through the list. At least they brought back dark mode..... -- Previous review -- Would be really nice to bring back the dark theme, or at least let me choose the theme.

Must Have One of the apps that I use daily. Extra layer of security for all your accounts in one app ! And it works both online and offline :) Loved the new design, specially the dark theme !! About time for the ordering feature :) #PasswordDay

The app itself is great, having the same issue others have had with changing phones. My old phone broke, and I got a replacement phone (still using the SIM card from my old phone) and I still can't link my accounts. I was able to re-connect my google account (because of the text option) but nothing else. If you are on the same google account, with the same phone number as before, you should be able to sync with the other accounts you had on the authenticator. I had 2-step verification with my bank account, and now I can't log in because it needs a code. But the only way for me to get codes in the app on the new phone is to re-add the bank account, which I can't do because I need to be logged in to my online banking in order to generate a barcode or key. I'm trapped!

Gets the job done, and now looks beautiful doing it. A simple (and Material!) authenticator. Does what it says on the tin with minimal setup/hassle.

Google re-added dark mode after very long time and now you can manage accounts position on the screen by dragging them. Also, no need for 3rd party QR scanner anymore since it's now finally integrated in app. The "new" material interface has A LOT of unoccupied space which could be used to actually fit another account on screen (please don't call this a security feature). I guess nobody at Google heard of a compact mode and there's still no backup option available.

Good Does everything as promised. Though devs should perhaps consider utilising the space better, as more than 4 accounts should fit on the screen... Also, why the integrated barcode scanner? Using the 3rd party scanner of my choice was adequate, maybe even preferable.

Doesn't work I don't know what they have done to this app. Worked for me before. Now it doesn't. Not sure what they changed but straight doesn't work in current state

Built-in Barcode Scanner Doesn't Work The previous version which relied on a third-party app for scanning barcodes worked perfectly and the scanner did its job instantly. This version doesn't work at all. It fails to detect the barcode so I'm forced to enter those horrible long codes.

Need a backup option I'm not sure why, I'm not a security expert but there should be a backup option in case you loose your phone or get a new phone. I already lost a Bitcoin wallet because of this.

Simply the best! The latest update has cemented Google Authenticator as the best of it's kind! Keeps my accounts secure giving me peace of mind, while keeping the package small and simple

Useful but fugly now The "improved" interface now 60% more fugly. Tiny time slice charts, gray in-between sections, smaller font. One word: eeeew. But it's still functional.

Too much whitespace I like the app and use it all the time. But why is there so much useless whitespace in the new update, it looks worse than before.

The before looking and interface was much more nice than the latest update! Reverse back to the similar looking...

It's good! I'm really happy about the integrated bar code scanner. I really didn't want to install another app just to be able to do that.
