Google Authenticator is a mobile app that provides users with the ability to create 2-step verification when signing into their Google account from a location other than their trusted computer. Whether in a public place or using a friend’s computer, Google Authenticator makes logging in more secure and harder for others to hack your account, even if they find out your password.

Secure logins

Google Authenticator makes logging in almost anywhere safe by using two different things: your password, which you know, and your phone, which you have. Authenticator generates a code that will appear within the application that will be used to login to your Google account from a public place after entering your password. Because of this, even if your password is stolen or cracked, your account cannot be entered without your phone.

Easy to use

Google Authenticator provides high security to your Google account but is surprisingly simple and easy to use. Even without a data connection, Google Authenticator can generate verification codes that can be used immediately. With a dark theme, support for Android Wear and automatic setup via QR code, it’s a breeze to start using Google Authenticator to make your browsing safe.
