How to Use Google Authenticator with a PC!

didn't explain anything. how exactly do i use the extension?

[permculture]

Most articles on the internet are written by "content providers" who don't really know anything about what they are writing about. They just research and aggregate information to collect the next check. This is a good case in point.

This is an ad for Google Authenticator but no explanation at all on how to install it on my PC.

[gregrtodd]

This isn't "HOW to use". This is "WHY to use."

[tomphillips]

This guide literally showed NOTHING about how to use it.

[Rarntry]

great video, but how to use the extension? you didn't explain any of it

[jimmyr]

Could you maybe go into a little detail on how to set it up? Jeez.

[nomoretalk]

The pin (looks like a thumb tack) thats to the left of every code....whats does the "Thumb Tack" do ???? Using a PC

[rahdsma]

title is misleading, doesn't actually tell me how to use it on a PC

[Yes-qjbi]

really pisses me off how so many things think I have a phone or phone number I can't do anything.
For me going on bluestacks and downloading google authenticator worked very well thank god.

was it usefull ?
I do not see any comments here
Chrome extension is showing some 3rd party app

[patrickjoeodwyer]

All my codes suddenly disappeared after chrome prompting me to sync with profiles as I had different gmail accounts. Can’t find them!!! All gone

[kilidoniadeacero]

This is not useful at all. It's just an ad for the authenticator and does NOT show how to use it.

👎👎another prime example why we need a dislike count

[FernandoFeraBR]

Today in 2024, there is no option to sync with Google Authenticator in your phone.

[marcusg.]

uh, yeah no not even one bit useful since to even use the extension you need to have some stupid university account or some shit

[LordVader]

This is why the dislike number needs to be shown. 👎

[richardwernst]

pointless, and NOT as title says. HOW DO YOU USE THE CHROME

[owlexS]

Remove the word "Google" from your title. This is not truly "Google Authenticator". Actually, no, you should just delete the video, because it doesn't actually show you how to use it at all.
