Google Authenticator is an application for Android devices designed to pass two-step authentication. The utility helps users log into accounts and makes this process more secure.
Requirements
To use the app, you need to sign in with a Google 2-step verification. In addition, permission to access the camera may be required – this is necessary to use the QR code scanner.
Opportunities
Two-step verification allows you to make logging into your Google account, as well as third-party service profiles, more secure. If it is used, you need to enter not only the password but also a special confirmation code, just like in HID Approve. The utility generates sequences of numbers. Thus, it allows the user to receive codes without a network connection in offline mode.
It is possible to use a QR code scanner. It allows you to set up profiles and transfer accounts from one mobile device to another. In addition, the utility synchronizes the time set on the smartphone and corrects it. This option is necessary to avoid errors during the authentication process.
