Overall Satisfaction with Google Authenticator

We use Google Authenticator as a two factor login for our Ubiquiti Dashboard. It is used by our IT department. We also use it for vendor secure portal logins. It is used by several of the sales and quality employees. The business problem is address is the extra layer of security needed for secure logins.
  • It is very easy to use and configure.
  • Easy install.
  • It has a great range of compatibility.
  • Interface is bland.
  • No availability of branding.
  • More training on importance of use.
  • Ease of use.
  • Compatibility.
  • Security.
  • No negative impact on ROI.
  • Cost is a positive impact on ROI.
  • Small learning curve is a positive impact.
Google Authenticator is a great alternative to FortiAuthenticator for our vendors to have us use to login securely to their secure portals and FTP sites. Google Authenticator does not require a setup by the Admin in order to use it. Google Authenticator does not require special permissions on iPhones or Android phones.

Google Authenticator is great for any two factor login scenario. If have an option to use it use it to consolidate all your two factor logins. Another scenario to where Google Authenticator is well suited is home use also, it can protect your personal gmail account. I would not recommend it when a company offers their own that syncs with their servers.
