Google Authenticator overview

What is Google Authenticator?

Google Authenticator is a mobile app that generates codes for two-factor authentication. With this service, you can sign in to an account by entering a code generated by the Google Authenticator application on your smartphone rather than a password. The only way someone can access your email, documents, or photos is by obtaining a code on your mobile device.

“I also like that a simple progress circle displays next to all of the logins you have saved in the app so you can clearly see how much time you have until the currently displayed set of codes resets.”

“I honestly had no idea how to go about adding services to the app, but I found it really easy to get started. And the app's simple interface means that nothing distracts from the basic functionality.”
