Overall Satisfaction with Google Authenticator

Our business is using Google Authenticator in our platform. We use it as an One Time Password (OTP) alternative along with Short Message Service (SMS) and WhatsApp Notification Messages. Google Authenticator is solving the problem when our notification server can't send SMS/WA for OTP, it works offline too! No problem without internet connection, it still works!
  • Offline support.
  • Easy access.
  • Multi platform.
  • Easy transfer from devices.
  • Sync with Google account.
  • Option for the refresh duration.
  • Offline support.
  • Multi platform.
  • Global usage.
  • Lower cost.
  • Easy to implement.
  • Customer easy to adapt.
We are using our WhatsApp Business Account to send OTP to our users, but we can't control our users for having a WhatsApp Account. And WhatsApp API is not free too and so complicated to implement. Google Authenticator is a good alternative and cost-free to our users for getting OTP codes.

Google Authenticator is good for One Time Password alternatives than SMS/WhatsApp/email, users just need to have Google Authenticator on their mobile (Android/iOS). They just need to scan Auth QR Codes to save their own security codes, and Google Authenticator will generate OTP code every 30 seconds.
