Google Authenticator authenticator Android / iOS version 4.0 release: supports cloud synchronous backup

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Ji Yinko, Xiao Yao, Chang an Yi, soft media new friend 1933769, FinnHiram for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, April 25 (Xinhua)-- the Google Authenticator authenticator application has acquired a feature that people have been asking for for years: cloud synchronous backup. In the latest version 4. 0 for Android and iOS, Google added this feature to make it more secure and convenient.

Google authenticator adds a second authentication step when you log in, adding an additional security barrier to your online account. This means that in addition to entering the password, you also need to enter the verification code generated by the Google authenticator application on your phone.

This update is attached to CTOnews.com:

Cloud synchronization is supported: the verification code generated by the authenticator for you can now be synchronized to your Google account and all devices. In this way, even if you lose your phone, you can get the CAPTCHA at any time.

New icons and illustrations have been introduced: this application has been updated to adopt new icons and illustrations that are more modern and humanized in style

Optimized user experience and visual effects: the application is now easier to use and more visually attractive

How Cloud Sync works: the application backs up your two-factor authentication code to your Google account. This means that even if you uninstall the application or cannot access the device on which it is installed, you will not lose all 2FA CAPTCHAs. Just install the application on different devices and you can get all your passwords back.

Google Authenticator can still only run on one device, but just make sure that your Google account has a different 2FA way so that you don't lose access to both the application and the Google account.
