Google Authenticator can generate one-time sign-in codes offline, and it also offers optional account sync. Keeping codes only on a device limits cloud exposure but makes a lost phone harder to recover; syncing is more convenient but links the codes to your Google Account. Save each service’s backup codes somewhere separate and secure.
What it offers
- Works with many TOTP-compatible accounts
- Codes can be used offline
- Optional account sync
Limitations
- Synced codes are linked to your Google Account.
- Losing the device without backup can lock you out.
- Store account recovery codes separately.
