Google Authenticator is a mobile app that provides an additional layer of security to your online accounts. It is commonly used for two-factor authentication (2FA). When enabled, Google Authenticator generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) that you need to enter along with your regular password when logging into a supported service or application.
