What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator Review

Basic Introduction

Authenticator is a security assistant APP officially produced by Microsoft that comprehensively protects the security of Microsoft accounts. You only need to log in to your Microsoft account with your mobile phone (not your password), and after entering your username, you will approve the notifications sent to your mobile phone. It also provides multiple security measures such as fingerprint, Face ID and PIN, giving you a safer service experience!

principle

In simple terms, the implementation principle of Authenticator is based on the key randomly generated by the server (Amazon). The client (Authentictor) uses the key and timestamp of the server to generate a dynamic verification code through an algorithm. The generation of this verification code is only related to the key and timestamp. The client can run in airplane mode and has nothing to do with the network.
