Ratings and reviews

Okay, not sure why it changed, but I went to use the app and now I can no longer tap and hold to copy the code to my clipboard. I mean, sure it's great that I can now rename and change the order of all of my accounts, but I have a huge problem with remembering numbers and now that one basic accessibility option is no longer available and it can take two or three tries and retries for me to get it right! Bring back that accessibility feature and I'll up the rating!

**UPDATE** I was pleased to hear that the syncing is now coming to this app, but from I hear the syncing isn't end-to-end encrypted. Is this true and if so will it be? - Still, even now with the pixel 6, and the generations of phones that came before it, there is still no cloud backup for this app?! I almost made the mistake of NOT exporting my codes. Other solutions at least give you the option to periodically backup to the cloud - I'm just blown away that this isn't a capability for this app.

My previous Android phone randomly died one day and wouldn't turn back on, so I lost my account and any way to log in to multiple apps. There is no way to import an existing account without scanning the QR code from the original device. If the device won't even turn on, it clearly can't provide a QR code to scan. This is completely ridiculous, and I can't believe even with all the complaints that there is still seemingly no workaround for this issue.
