If any Android users looking for a good alternative, I like Authy.

I went with it because I didn't want to put more eggs in the Google basket than necessary.

No pin on the Google Auth? That's lousy.

@voltronic unless they have added one since i last used it which was years ago now

but i'm sure they haven't i read an article on why people should switch to authy not long ago and it said no pin was a major downside with google's app
