Is there any loss of privacy while using 2 Factor authentication?
If you use Google Authenticator on an android phone (where essentially you have linked your google id), to authenticate the login of a third party website, can google link your google id with the credentials of the third party website?

I am really scared about this. What if I lost my phone? How would I recover my authentication codes? Is there any possibilities I could recover them?

Every Exchange websites has a feature that when you turn on the 2FA authenticator on your account they will give you a Secret Key and Qr Code of your google authenticator even you'd lost your phone you can easily turn off or change your 2FA Secret Key by using another android device that's why before you use 2FA save the Qr code and Secret key of your account into another device so once it will lost you're not be afraid to get hacked Wink
