Introduction
Are you concerned about the security of your online accounts? Looking for a reliable and user-friendly way to implement multi-factor authentication? Look no further! This Chrome extension is here to safeguard your valuable information and provide you with peace of mind.
How It Works
This Chrome extension generates Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) tokens, based on the RFC4226 standard, when multi-factor authentication is used with your Google account. It has been extensively tested and proven to work seamlessly with popular services such as Google Authenticator, Dropbox, Dreamhost, and Amazon.
By using this Chrome extension, you not only secure your Gmail account but also reinforce the security of your SSH connections. Follow the instructions provided at security/two-factor-ssh-with-google-authenticator.html">this link to set up two-factor SSH authentication.
Easy Setup and Usage
Getting started is a breeze! Simply enter the secret provided by the service, along with an account name to help you remember it. The extension generates a unique 6-character key that you'll need to enter when prompted. Ensure that the time on your device is synchronized, as a minute's discrepancy could result in login failures.

10 Reviews For This Extension
Cannot import anything. No scanning support. Pointless
No documentation. No syncing, so can't import my existing 2FAs. Appears to only be useful if setting up a new 2FA - given I've already put all my 'at risk' accounts onto 2FA, makes this useless.
As soon as I installed this extension my inbox began being flooded with spam, it would seem the author is selling your email address and potentially other data.
It works for a while but the timer gets out of sync over a very short time and you have to enter the code at the beginning of the 30 second count down for it to work.
Doe not work
Does what it suppose to do. Great app, thanks!
Idk why there are so many negative or comments like it's not working,etc. can't say those are bot comments either but it worked perfectly for me on my 1st try you can give it a try bcos it's just a 250 KB extension and most probably it'll work for you as well :)
ongoing process
Randomly stopped working completely page will not load
I love this app easy to use. When I consider how important 2Fa is to my information security, I have backed up my recovery codes in three different email accounts along with storing it at a safe place at my home. it is possible to recover your Authenticator.
