Yes, basically.

No idea for every phone, but not native to Android or IOS AFAIK. Probably Google Goggles, but that's not built-in usually. We recommend FreeOTP for MFA at Userify[1] (plug: SSH key management) which has a built-in QR code scanner/reader, but Google Authenticator needs a specific third-party (and permission-greedy) app.

- WorldMaker 11y agoIt's natively built into Windows 10 (for certain less technical descriptions of "native"), but you'll have to ask Cortana if anyone knows that, much less knows how use that.
