Google Authenticator enhances your phone's security with an added verification layer. It bolsters the security of your online accounts by requiring a second verification step during login. This means you'll need both your password and a time-sensitive code generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
This code generation works offline, even without internet or cellular data.
Key features include:
- Cross-Device Syncing: Sync your codes to your Google Account for access across multiple devices, even if your phone is lost.
- QR Code Setup: Easily and securely add accounts using QR codes.
- Multiple Account Management: Manage numerous accounts within the single app.
- Flexible Code Generation: Supports both time-based and counter-based codes.
- Seamless Account Transfer: Transfer accounts to new devices using QR codes.
- Google Integration: Requires enabling 2-Step Verification on your Google Account (http://www.google.com/2step).
