It's a security app that isn't the most secure (although they have added Face ID for iOS since this video was posted). I always recommend something like Authy OR, for a more secure option consider a 2FA key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?vfzUVrz0ixn8

Try Authy: https://authy.com/
Try Microsoft Authenticator: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/account/authenticator
Try 1Password (affiliate): https://www.allthingssecured.com/yt/1password

2-factor authentication (2FA) apps are essential if you want to secure your accounts, but you need to make sure you have a secure app you can trust. The Google Authenticator app isn't as secure as you think, and here are some good alternatives.
