Google Authenticator Updates Released

With More Secure Features

A new version of Authenticator for iOS and Android maintains code backups in your Google account. If you lose the device that contains your Google Authenticator one-time codes, they are no longer trapped. Just because you received a new phone does not mean you have to renew all of your associated apps or scan a QR code.

Features

If you have the most recent version of the Google Authenticator app, all you need to do to enable synchronisation and login into Google is follow the on-screen instructions. Of course, to stop unauthorised users from abusing Authenticator, you’ll also want to make sure your Google account is safe. Google is still advocating for password-free logins that utilise passkeys technology. It also notes that some people continue to use one-time codes. As you wait to be ready and able to switch to another system, the Authenticator upgrade should ease some of the hassles associated with using those codes. This may also persuade you to utilise two-factor authentication if you were previously concerned about what may occur if your phone were stolen or lost.

Usage

There are cloud backups for apps like Microsoft Authenticator as well. However, it is well known that Google’s tool is widely used. Cloud synchronisation ought to make a noticeable impact, especially considering how many apps now support using Authenticator in place of the traditional password.
