Google Authenticator for iOS update resets account info

Recommended Posts

What with two-step authentication becoming more commonplace these days in order to keep your online presence somewhat more secure, the tools that allow it also need updating every now and then.

It still works the same way as before, punching out login codes in order to access your Google account(s), but as early adopter and iOS developer Steve Stresa discovered after updating:

The update removes your account information, which isn't actually mentioned anywhere on the iTunes app page or changelog either. So you'll be required to pair your account info again after updating.

So be s
