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

The newest update included a change which flipped the priority of long-press (to copy a code) and holding (to drag and resort). Formerly, copying—the reason you're opening the app—was the priority. Now, resorting is. As a result, it takes far too many attempts to copy a code. Edit: After a few days of dealing with this update, I've decided to find another app.

New UX is oversized and doesn't respect the phone display and font size settings. I have my display and font set to small because it is more comfortable for my eyes and while the search bar at the top follows these settings, the code headers and codes are so large on the screen I could probably read them from across a 20 foot room. Having such a large, unadjustable settings like this make this security app unsecure.

Some issues with the latest update.... - Syncing to the cloud should be an option it's just another exposure point versus just encrypted on my phone - the new UI is horrible, the fonts are so big. If you're gonna make that change, it should also be a setting. - I am also running into clock issue someone else reported.
