Google Authenticator
doubtful ratingA minimalist 2FA authenticator that works fine until you change your phone. Losing all codes when switching devices without manual transfer is a systemic problem known to every long-time user.

About the rating
Store average 4.85 vs text average 3.37 a 1.48-star gap. The 56% five-star rate is moderate, but five-star content is nearly empty ('Simba2727#', 'It's good', 'Easy to use'). Some reviews aren't about the app at all. Signs of bot-driven inflation.
