Probably due to the close source feature of the google app which makes it risky in some way in case google is storing our data. Think about it, If google have access to your authenticator key. Your security might be exploited when their database was breach.
There’s still some good Authenticator out there that is open source. Open source is the typical choice of forum user since everyone can check the code. I’m not that kind of meticulous in 2FA since all my account is protected with multi layer security. I’m also using google account for a long time. Changing now for an open source Authenticator is not for me.
Yeah, but can you name and link one event where google 2fa was compromised because of that? I would take link to any hack event at all in where google 2fa was compromised because of the program itself was exploited. Because i can't find any. Other 2fa hacks i can find plenty. But obviously open source should be always preferred. I am not talking against that by any means.
