Google Authenticator App Reviews

There is no way to transfer your authentication codes between devices.

While always annoying, cumbersome, and requiring several tries to log in, this crap app no longer allows access at all.

I had the exact same problem after switching phones. It’s a nightmare trying to figure out how to get the simple code sent! Use at your own risk. It’s terrible.

Sometimes it works, most times it doesnt. Gets very frustrating.

Used to work great until 2 weeks ago, had to spend over 2 hours with tech support and it still doesnt work.

I use this app for Discord, it’s awesome! I definitely love this app.

Man, F Patrick.

The one thing Id love to see added to this app is the ability to logically group items together, like into folders. I have probably a dozen work-related auth codes, half a dozen personal ones, and a handful of ones used for other purposes. Being able to organize them all into folders would make it a lot easier to keep track of them.

I need a code Please help

I change phones - a lot - and it’s a royal pain to migrate this app to a new phone (unless I’m missing something. A backup / restore or some other migration feature is needed.

Lost all my codes when restoring phone from encrypted iTunes backup.

Stay away if you intend to switch new phone

This app is wide open. At least provide Touch ID to open the app.

Free security feature, great App.

Kicked me out, lost everything. Google makes it impossible to contact even google.com/contact has no contact info. Just sends you in circles through articles. App doesnt even let you see what account or anything its connected to. App does not even have a se

I realize if I lose or upgrade my phone Im SOL. This app is simple to use and has worked every time but I would love to sync my accounts across multiple devices and be able to customize colors making it easy for my eyes to target the account that I am authenticating at the moment.

If you have to wipe your iPhone and you do not restore the authenticator app you will lose all of your codes. If you think that wont happen, youre crazy! You WILL lose the app and all your backup codes, and your life will become a living hell! You have been warned!

I’m surprised at this terrible app. I can’t believe this is a Google product! I attempted to authenticate my account many times and despite entering the correct code I was repeatedly informed that I was wrong! Never got it to function correctly. Really disappointed.

The app worked one day and then the next it was like I had never used it. Lost all of my keys and created massive headaches. I am still trying to regain access to multiple accounts. Garbage. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

The codes this app generates do not work anymore after I changed my phone. Completely useless. Reinstalling it did not help either. I cant believe this piece of junk came from Google.
