You already have an account with Google. And whenever you login into your Gmail accounts, there’s Google’s two-factor verification that you need to go through.
It’s an important feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your Google accounts. Well, that’s actually an authenticator by Google. It helps ensure that no unauthorized personnel gets access to your accounts.
After all, it’s always recommended to keep your belongings (data) safe and secure. Hence, Google Authenticator came into existence.
It helps the users log in to their Google-related accounts in a hassle-free way. That means, when you login into your Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you can just verify your identity via the Google Authenticator app. Great! Isn’t it?
And to make this process better, Google Authenticator uses a QR Code. For the uninitiated, QR Codes are 2D barcodes that store data.
They’re also called advanced level barcodes because they can store more data than traditional barcodes, are editable, and can be tracked too.
This is why QR Code technology is finding its way into new industries and businesses every day.
Authentication services are one of the top applications of QR Codes. And now Google is using it too. Keep reading to know more about it at: https://scanova.io/blog/blog/2022/03/16/google-authenticator-qr-code/
