Do yourself all a favor and PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR! The service is terrible and does not support cloud authentication codes. Transferring codes from one device to the other is also a pain. If you change phones or upgrade and do not have them transferred prior, you lose ALL AUTHENTICATION CODES! Use a different authenticator app like Authy or save these codes to your gallery. Trust me, Google authenticator is simply not worth the hassle.
