One of the most effective methods to protect ourselves against attacks based on having obtained our credentials is the use of two-factor authentication methodssomething that allows, if the attacker in question manages to log into our account, will continue without having physical access to our device, preventing access.
However, sometimes physical access to such a device can be somewhat inconvenient, reason why some users still do not make use of these authentication schemes. That is why Google has released a new version that It will allow us to synchronize our 2FA codes between various devices.
This will allow you to always have a copy of our access codes, avoiding that if we lose our smartphone or it is stolen, we are left without access to several user accountsalso facilitating the change from one smartphone to another when it is time to change the terminal.
Without a doubt, these are some changes that were needed in the Google Authenticator application, that it has received a much-needed facelift in order to make it work better and that, in generalnot only more secure, but more useful to users and easier to use, which increases adoption.
