Topic: PSA: Back up your Google 2FA codes on iOS before updating! (Read 565 times)
I can confirm it! It happened to me like 30 mins ago.
Google has finally released v2.0 of its Authenticator app for iOS today, but it seems many users are being caught by the update apparently deleting their saved tokens. I haven't tried this myself yet so I can't confirm, but as many of you are (hopefully) using two-factor authentication on various services, please make sure you aren't locked out of your accounts!
(And reminder: If you still don't use two-factor authentication wherever provided, please do! Of course, not all of them require a smartphone app, and other apps like Authy also support the same OATH/TOTP protocol that most configurations use.)
