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 cellular 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 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 2-Step Verification on your Google Account. To get started visit http://www.google.com/2step

I installed it yesterday, but codes don't update: at times this occurs even after getting out and back into Google Authenticator! It appears to be synced to my Google account at intervals... Tried different ways to sort the problem out, unsuccessfully. I also wondered how secure it can be if it connects to a cloud. I'd like to find a way to generate backup security codes without relying on its access to my Google account. However, if codes keep not updating when they should, I'll get rid of it.

Absolutely does not work now. No matter cache clears, reinstalls, tinkering with time and syncing... It just says there are no codes on my account, and the little cloud remains crossed out. Which is weird as all hells, since I've been using it for dozens of sites for ages and it's working perfectly well on iOS. It's not just performance issues or the lack of feature parity here. It absolutely does not work at all.

Very bad. It's functionalities work, but if you want a choice to lose your account, it's one way to do it. After enabling authentication through phone, if you, for some reason, can't check you phone, there's nothing you can do to enter in your account, unless contacting them. SMS or email options automatically become disable if you enable it from a device. Hope this gets solved. Only giving an extra star feedback because it really works, but gives you a chance to lose it all.
