Google Authenticator 7.0 brings a Material You redesign and new features, while changing how you copy 2-factor authentication (2FA) codes.

Previously, you long-pressed on those six digits in the account list to copy to your clipboard.

With last week’s Google Authenticator update, a simple tap is how you copy those codes. (That being said, we’ve noticed that a long-press sometimes still works in version 7.0, but it’s inconsistent and the single tap is clearly the intended behavior.) A single touch is definitely simpler, but users have to adjust to this.

Google Auth and Authy lock you in, consider migrating to Aegis or Ente Auth.

Aegis is excellent

It's too bad Ente doesn't have any browser extensions, because it sounds pretty awesome otherwise.

Don't most password managers also have TFA builtin?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Yes but from a security perspective, that's like putting your house keys with your photo ID that has your address.

How? Codes can easily be exported from Google Authenticator (never tried Authy).

when i had to do it, they could only be exported to another google auth via QR code. I was forced to recreate the codes on every service.

[–] falconeray@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone made a parser for the Google QR codes and now some apps can import them directly. I switched to aegis this weekend and it worked perfectly.

If you need a third party app to extract the private key, then it isn't actually open. It's just the step before Google encrypts the output.
