Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security to your phone with a secondary lock.
Google Authenticator enhances the security of your online accounts by requiring a second verification step during sign-in.
This means that alongside your password, you'll need to enter a code generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
The verification code is generated by the app on your phone, even without an internet or cellular connection.
* Sync your Authenticator codes to your Google Account and across devices, ensuring access even if you lose your phone.
* Set up Authenticator accounts automatically using a QR code. This quick, easy process helps ensure correct setup.
* Support for multiple accounts. Manage all your accounts within the Authenticator app, eliminating the need to switch between apps when signing in.
* Support for both time-based and counter-based code generation. Choose the method that best fits your needs.
* Transfer accounts between devices using a QR code, a convenient way to move your accounts to a new device.
