Aside from needing to download the ap on your phone and then set up your account - that is really all it takes to get started. I use the Authenticator App to sign in for everything. This two-step authentication process is very easy and streamline. Since everything goes through the ap you don't receive any annoying text messages like other companies require. With the Authenticator App you do everything from the ap itself and it's also quick and easy. Pros I use the Authenticator App for my current job and it's never been so easy before. This ap makes the log-in process seamless and stress-free. With one click of a button you can easily verify your account and be logged into your system within seconds. It really makes the process of logging in feel safe and efficient. Cons I don't have any negative reviews to state about the Authenticator App. My current company is the first time I've used this and it makes the log-in process so easy as compared to other ways of signing in.
