About this app

Google Authenticator adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by adding a second step of verification when you sign in. This means that in addition to your password, you'll also need to enter a code that is generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone. The verification code can be generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone, even if you don't have a network or cellular connection.
* Sync your Authenticator codes to your Google Account and across your devices. This way, you can always access them even if you lose your phone.
* Set up your Authenticator accounts automatically with a QR code. This is quick and easy, and it helps to ensure that your codes are set up correctly.
* Support for multiple accounts. You can use the Authenticator app to manage multiple accounts, so you don't have to switch between apps every time you need to sign in.
* Support for time-based and counter-based code generation. You can choose the type of code generation that best suits your needs.
* Transfer accounts between devices with a QR code. This is a convenient way to move your accounts to a new device.
* To use Google Authenticator with Google, you need to enable 2-Step Verification on your Google Account. To get started visit http://www.google.com/2step Permission notice: Camera: Needed to add accounts using QR codes

Codes stopped working. So tried to delete and reset the token, but I can't delete tokens! I can only add them. Now I have duplicates that I can't delete. EDIT: swiping left/right allied you to delete) edit. Not the most intuitive way to do it. Still didn't solve the problem. Couldn't find a way to sync time and date with phone. Found a solution, had to set my phone settings to auto time and date.

A really awful setup experience, almost as bad as dealing with Microsoft. The app's main screen has no user aid, the "how it works" is meaningless in terms of actually using it and only when you poke around do you find out that the little plus sign in the bottom corner is the main activator. Jeez, don't these people do userability checks and tests? Such timewasters!

Like everyone is saying, the most recent update knocked codes out of sync. The right code is only displayed for about 10 seconds. My phone's time is correct, and I have even tried adjusting my phone time forward by various increments but it doesn't work. Google responses to these reviews have been ignorant and unhelpful; they have no clue what they're talking about. WHAT WORKS FOR ME is to force quit the app (the ||| button on your phone, then swipe up on the app) and reopen it EVERY TIME.
