What is Google Authenticator?
The Google Authenticator is a mobile application that provides an additional layer of security for logging in to your Google Account. The app generates unique 6-digit codes that change every 30 seconds, allowing you to authenticate your identity without relying solely on a password. This two-factor authentication process ensures that even if your password is compromised, an attacker cannot access your account without also having physical access to your registered mobile device. The Google Authenticator app works seamlessly across all your Google services, protecting the confidentiality of your email, documents, photos, and other sensitive information stored in your account
