If you use the Microsoft Authenticator, at least it will remember your information while you are on the same phone platform.

And if you lose your phone, you are just screwed with no recourse. If you change phones or migrate phone platforms, you are completely screwed unless you remove mfa from all your apps before you uninstall the Google Authenticator app. I would give ANYTHING to be able to retrieve the memories and photos I have lost forever. Please just don’t get this app unless you absolutely NEED the extra security. So I’m logged out of my bank app and pharmacy app as well. I had to make all new social media accounts and I still can’t get logged back into some apps because I have a new phone number as well.

I’ve also lost access to ALL of my apps and accounts as well. I just thought it was a neat feature I guess. I don’t even remember why I got it because I didn’t need the extra security. Unless you’re some sort of high level security person you don’t need this app, DO NOT get it. I lost all of my daughters newborn photos, my wedding photos and countless other memories I will never be able to retrieve. In turn I lost access to my google photos account that had over 18,000 photos backed up to it. I didn’t even get a new phone so there’s no “new phone” to get the codes from.

I lost access to my google account I’ve had my entire life after I got a new phone number and had to get a new iCloud account.
