Enhancing Security with Google Authenticator

Google Authenticator is a productivity app designed to enhance online security by providing two-factor authentication for various accounts. The app generates time-based or counter-based verification codes, which serve as an additional security measure during the sign-in process. Notably, these codes can be accessed without a network connection, ensuring users can verify their identity even in offline situations. Moreover, the app supports multiple accounts, allowing users to manage all their authentication needs from a single interface.

A key feature of Google Authenticator is the ability to sync codes across devices through a Google Account, providing a backup option in case of device loss. Users can also set up accounts effortlessly by scanning QR codes, simplifying the process of adding new accounts. Additionally, transferring accounts between devices is made easy with QR code functionality, making it straightforward to maintain security across devices.

    Locked me out of my 2FA flows with no warning and suddenly required Google 2FA (which I have never used). Now I can't access the accounts I was using Authenticator for 2FA with.
