About this app

Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by adding a second step of verification when you sign in. This means that in addition to your password, you'll also need to enter a code that is generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone. The verification code can be generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone, even if you don't have a network or mobile connection.
* Sync your Authenticator codes to your Google Account and across your devices. This way, you can always access them even if you lose your phone.
* Set up your Authenticator accounts automatically with a QR code. This is quick and easy, and it helps to ensure that your codes are set up correctly.
* Support for multiple accounts. You can use the Authenticator app to manage multiple accounts so that you don't have to switch between apps every time you need to sign in.
* Support for time-based and counter-based code generation. You can choose the type of code generation that best suits your needs.
* Transfer accounts between devices with a QR code. This is a convenient way to move your accounts to a new device.
* To use Google Authenticator with Google, you need to enable two-step verification on your Google Account. To get started visit http://www.google.com/2step Permission notice: Camera: Needed to add accounts using QR codes

Ratings and reviews

I have lots of keys from different accounts and it has become very difficult to manage them and scroll through the list... Developers sould introduce a way to structure the list ( a folder like structure, or a tagging sistem, or both). At the moment for example i cannot differentiate between work accounts and personal ones and so on... Maybe a simple list was ok when you had 2-3 accounts but not when you have more. Once they add this feature, i will give 5 stars.

I absolutely Appreciate this App!! It's simple! straightforward! easy to use! and easy to understand! for novices and (as I am) any person who is not the most proficient at using Apps-or pretty much Touching anything digital!! And it's Free! Genuinely Security Conscious at protecting a person's online account/s. Thank You & Pleeeease don't Change it too much!! No bells, whistles or even worse Alarms Needed!! 👃👍

Works well about half the time. I use this for a lot of apps at work and often times I'll put in a number, only to get an error saying it's expired when it isn't. One time at complete random, it started giving an error that it has no permissions to my camera, when I changed absolutely nothing! Every single setting said it had permission. I uninstalled and reinstalled, that didn't fix it. The workaround is to scan the QR code with a barcode scanner outside of this app and open in the app.
