Google Authenticator can now sync 2FA codes to the cloud

Google Authenticator was updated to improve its utility for users who regularly use the service to sign in to websites and apps.

Today, Google Authenticator will transfer any one-time two-factor verification (2FA) codes created for users to their Google Accounts. In the past, the single-time Authenticator codes were stored locally on a single device which often resulted in the loss of the possibility to sign in to any account that was set up using the 2FA feature of Authenticator.

To benefit from the sync feature’s latest enhancements you must upgrade the Authenticator app. If you’re logged into an existing Google Account within Google Authenticator the codes will be saved and restored on any new device that you utilize.
