> How does Google Authenticator work?
Really poorly. Not only my experience, also the prevailing sentiment in app store reviews, where it has a sub-2.5 star rating.
Up until pretty recently you couldn't even back up your passcodes, so it was extremely risky to use it.
Use Authy, there is clearly a lot more effort put into that app.
- tim333 5y agoA non techy friend of mine had some bad issues in that she had it on an iPhone, switched to a new iPhone copying everything over via icloud as one usually does and then finding Google Auth didn't copy the auth codes over or warn you that it won't, and hence was locked out of various accounts.
