Once a fast app, no longer.

Used by other programs I run, I had to use this app. Before, it wasnt a problem.

Now its *MANDATORY* to set up 2-step verification on your Google account before you can even use the app at all; which is both completely useless to me and, for most, stupidly hard to find.

If I had something important on my Google account maybe Id do this myself. But I use a Google account as a connection account, it has nothing valuable on it.

Immense waste of time, and the update forced me to re-setup every app that used Authenticators prior, which I had to first DISABLE to redo.

In short, huge waste of time, ludicrously pointless fluff, thank you for making a perfectly streamlined app a pain in the rear.
