IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Google Authenticator to securely log into my accounts using two-factor authentication. My company consists of just myself. I love Google Authenticator because it is incredibly easy to set up and use. I have 5 different G Suite accounts and numerous social media accounts; I use two-factor authentication on all of them. Having Google Authenticator on my phone makes it incredibly easy to log in wherever I am. After using Google Authenticator for more than five years, I have not had one of my accounts hacked. I always have my phone with me, so there is not an extra device or fob to carry. I recommend wholeheartedly it to anyone who uses two-factor authentication.
Pros
- Ease of use. Simply open the app and codes are there for all my two-factor protected accounts.
- Having Google Authenticator as an app on my phone makes it really accessible.
- Easy set-up. I had the app up and running within 5 minutes.
Cons
- I have not come across any areas that need improvement for my use case.
Likelihood to Recommend
When I log in to my personal account at school, I can log in securely and quickly. It also works when I log in to Facebook or another Google account. The only time I have had problems was when I misplaced my phone. I spent the day out of contact. However, this would be a problem for any device that I have to carry even if it is on my keychain or a lanyard.
