Google Authenticator 7.0 brings a Material You redesign and new features, while changing how you copy 2-factor authentication (2FA) codes.

I'm still baffled at the logo redesign to what looks like a butthole. Like, you're telling me NO ONE on the design team watched Community?

At least it's an inclusive rainbow butthole, lol

TRUST THE SECURE RAINBOW BUTTHOLE

Always looked like a snowflake for me

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

It just looks like a colored * to me. /shrug

Previously, you long-pressed on those six digits in the account list to copy to your clipboard.

With last week’s Google Authenticator update, a simple tap is how you copy those codes. (That being said, we’ve noticed that a long-press sometimes still works in version 7.0, but it’s inconsistent and the single tap is clearly the intended behavior.) A single touch is definitely simpler, but users have to adjust to this.

Google Auth and Authy lock you in, consider migrating to Aegis or Ente Auth.

Aegis is excellent

Don't most password managers also have TFA builtin?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

Yes but from a security perspective, that's like putting your house keys with your photo ID that has your address.

[–] wccrawford@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It's too bad Ente doesn't have any browser extensions, because it sounds pretty awesome otherwise.

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How? Codes can easily be exported from Google Authenticator (never tried Authy).

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

when i had to do it, they could only be exported to another google auth via QR code. I was forced to recreate the codes on every service.

[–] falconeray@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Someone made a parser for the Google QR codes and now some apps can import them directly. I switched to aegis this weekend and it worked perfectly.

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

If you need a third party app to extract the private key, then it isn't actually open. It's just the step before Google encrypts the output.

[–] chevy9294@monero.town 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Somone made a whole article just to say that Google changed long press to tap in an app...

Why?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

It's called clickbait.

[–] radau@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

More fluffed crap to flood the internet but of course

[–] bradboimler@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Thank you! I was wondering why long presses were no longer working.
