    Authlogics can be used anywhere there is a need for second factor authentication. Moreover, if you care about users and want something easy for them to use then 1.5 MFA from Authlogics is a blessing. However, if you have the need the users should use their device or something they have always then this is not the ideal solution.

    Logging into my work accounts is where Google Authenticator works best. Also, I had a personal account get hacked. I had an account created to book hotels, but someone was constantly resetting my password. To prevent further hacking attempts, I set up Google Authenticator. I do not believe it would be appropriate for banking accounts.

    • One strength is in how it checks identity to stop unwanted people from getting access.
    • Another strength is in cutting down on the frustration of users for the authentication process.
    • With the pandemic and needing to work away from the office it also provided additional security in keeping our network/infrastructure safe.

    • I once performed a factory reset of my smartphone which had Google Authenticator. I didn't have a backup for the device. When I restored my phone with the same google account, I was not able to restore the authenticator app settings. I had to add all the keys back into the app to use it. This is cumbersome, but I understand it is set up this way for security reasons.
    • I don't like the ease with which it lets you delete a key. If I accidentally delete a key, I am doomed to get my 2FA key reset, unless I still have the QR code saved somewhere.

    It's as easy as opening the app and what I need it for is there. I don't have to fumble with other accounts or getting something else to open it for me. I have all the access that I need for the use of the app within seconds and I can get access to the info that I need.

    I have found Google’s support to be hit or miss. There are times when they are very responsive, and I get my issue resolved quickly, and there are times where a response from them takes weeks. There is no in-between. But my support experience with this particular product is nonexistent because I have not had a problem with it yet. Hopefully, we do not have any problems with it either.

    The only advantage of Google Authenticator is that it is free. Authlogics has many more features than Google Authenticator especially 1.5 MFA which is unique to it. It has official support which comes in handy when users face authentication issues or the radius servers having problems. Moreover, it can be integrated with active directory providing a central place of administration for your users.

    First, Google Authenticator meets the security requirements which should be considered "table stakes". Second, simplicity is critical. Many users don' understand why they are setting up MFA (or they just don't care), and so adding additional complications to their day-to-day is always challenging. When it is simple, it makes life a lot easier. Finally, trust (due to the brand name recognition, primarily) removes any notion of "what is this?" that the user may have from being required to install something on their personal device for work purposes.

    • More secure data = less worried about a data breach.
    • Takes longer to log in, and if I don't have my phone then I have to go looking for it, so it really makes it so that you can't be without your phone, which in certain instances is annoying or not possible and can hold up work time.
    • Everyone is willing to use the same program because everyone likes Google—makes it easier to manage.
