Overall Satisfaction with Google Authenticator

We use Google Authenticator for MFA for a wide variety of SaaS applications. All users are required to use MFA for all of our apps. Google Authenticator makes it easy to access those codes.

Pros

  • Generates new codes every 30 seconds
  • Allows exporting of accounts
  • Allows importing of accounts

Cons

  • When someone has more than a dozen accounts, the app should open with the cursor already in the search field so that the user can search immediately without additional steps. This is my #1 peeve. I have 50 or more accounts in the app and cannot scroll to find the account I need the code from and having to click into the search field slows things down.
  • Since it is a free app, it has no impact on our ROI, but does allow us to use an MFA app without additional cost.
Search field should be active and keyboard showing as soon as app is opened
  • Cisco Duo
  • Oracle Access Management
  • Bitwarden
Free app that works. No need for others.
