Google Authenticator’s app which runs on Androi and IOS phones. Got a new update bringing an important feature.
(2FA) adds a second layer of security to your online accounts, making it difficult for attackers to hack it. Accounts will require users to enter a one-time passcode before logging into the account, which is sent via SMS or emails or generated by the authentication app.
Using the authentication app is a safer alternative to SMS and email because it can be hacked by hackers or transferred by mobile network managers, making it easier to move beyond this important step in protecting digital accounts.
The most missing of Google Authenticator was multiple devices support. Any access to accounts linked to the app on more than one device. In this case if you lose your mobile devices where Google Authenticator has been installed, you will also lose access to the codes, also the app did not backup on user’s Google account or other cloud services.
With the latest Google Authenticator update, users are asked to log into their Google account and sync authentication codes with the Google account. Which means that they are summarized on Google’s account and simultaneously accessible on multiple devices. And access to it also in case your device is lost.
We recommend using apps support end-to-end encryption to save backups of Authentication codes, one of the most powerful encryption types currently available that prevents the provider from accessing saved data and therefore if exposed to the data leak, customer’s data remains encrypted and secure. like Authy app, which operates on Apple and Android systems, or Aegis app, which operates on Android systems.
