In this tutorial, Josh walks you stepbystep through the process of installing the Google Authenticator app, setting it up as twofactor authentication for your online accounts, and using it to log in.

I recommend Google Authenticator over other options like Microsoft Authenticator, Authy or LastPass Authenticator because it's been the standard for creating a Timebased One Time Password (TOTP) for years. It's also incredibly easy to use for any kind of device.

In this tutorial, Josh answers the following questions:
What is an authenticator app?
How do you set up Google Authenticator?
How do you log in using Google Authenticator?
Which device should I install Google Authenticator on?
Is Google Authenticator safe?
