Authenticator App for 2FA Security
Hi Guys,
I have a problem trying to figure out what app to download for the 2FA security. I play around on a Voyager account with crypto and have decided maybe I should beef up the security. They say download the Google or Microsoft app. I have read a lot of blogs on both and the general consensus is they are both crap lots of problems. So if anyone has a Voyager trading account with the 2fa I would love to know which one you use and how you like it. I have a Note 10+ phone. Thanks Mike. |

I have never had any problems with Google or Microsoft authenticators and use them for many accounts including TRF

I use Authy. Had some weird issue with Google first go-around and it kind of weirded me out. Been a while, so I've forgotten what that issue was, though.

I use the Google one and it works great for me.
The only annoying thing is that when using my mobile phone on 4G I have to authenticate a new code every day because apparently 4G changes your IP address every 24 hours. |

here's a question for you guys...if you get a new phone, is it best to turn off 2FA before installing on new phone?

I use the Google authentication app for everything I can, and the Microsoft one for anything else I need that is Microsoft-related.

Authy is good because they also have a desktop app.
Authy has features beyond the Google App. Always keep a copy of your security recovery code/pin.
