They make it so easy to add authenticator to a sign in process, and saves the one-time password generator right in the entry in your personal vault along with the sign in for that particular account. I love it and when it comes to authenticator capability it’s so much easier and makes so much more sense. I’m so glad my cybersecurity friend got me to convert to using 1Password many years ago. I had to go to a bunch of trouble to finally to get back into my accounts. I regret I ever used Google authenticator on a few accounts only to find out I could no longer do auth on those accounts when Google just changed the whole thing. I’m addition you have to worry about transferring accounts and worry about if you forget to handle it right when you get a new device. Why have an app where you have to be worried about being singed into Google all the time? That’s not something many of us want at baseline. Google doesn’t really maintain or support apps, they just change them and then you often lose things. Why anyone would use a Google app for authenticator anymore is a mystery to me. To use Google Authenticator with Google, you need to enable 2-Step Verification on your Google Account. This is a convenient way to move your accounts to a new device.

Set up your Authenticator accounts automatically with a QR code.This way, you can always access them even if you lose your phone.


Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by adding a second step of verification when you sign in.
