wikipedia:Google Authenticator (2010) is a software-based authenticator by Google that implements two-step verification services using the Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP; specified in RFC 6238) and HMAC-based One-time Password algorithm (HOTP; specified in RFC 4226), for authenticating users of software applications.[1]
Google Authenticator was open-source until 2013 [2]
The Android OS allows apps to protect their users by blocking other apps from screenshotting their content. This is done by adding a "FLAG_SECURE" option inside the app's configuration.

- Android: 6.0 according to Gemini included multidevice support https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447
- Apr 2023 Google Authenticator now supports Google Account synchronization [3], To disable it: https://www.delta.exchange/blog/disable-google-authenticator-cloud-sync-feature-for-better-security
