Google Authenticator Works Great.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Google Authenticator every single day. Each morning, I log into my work system with a username and password, but I can not access my important accounts like email, Salesforce CRM, JIRA, Workday, etc. until I have logged in with Google Authenticator. The product addresses security as we work with sensitive client data. Ensuring that employees of my company have only the necessary access is crucial.
Pros
- Ease of access when using the app.
- Timeliness of providing a code.
- Allows for multiple accounts.
Cons
- I wish there were a way to access the code outside the app.
- I wish I had more accounts to use it on.
- I wish I could send a Bluetooth signal instead of typing in a code.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
