Lastly, avoid using Google Authenticator, there are far better Authenticators.
I think this is the very first time I am coming across someone advising against using Google authenticator , why exactly is good authenticator not good, I personally have been using it for as far as I can remember, maybe since 3 or 4 years ago, I've never encountered any issue of any kind, so I am very curious to know exactly why you are advising against using google authenticator, and what other better authenticators do you recommend.?.
I've also been using Google authenticator for years for 2FA authorization on many sites, including the Betfury site. So I would also be interested to know why he recommended avoiding the Google app. Of course, there are many other authenticators, but in fact, all of them have almost the same functionality, and I don't see any reason to change Google authenticator for some other similar app. The main thing is to back up the recovery codes and always keep them in several places to avoid the problems that Rigon had recently encountered.
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.
