App no longer appears in my app drawer or on my home screen, and when I search my device it doesn't appear. However, when I search the play store it says it's installed and gives me the option to open the app. I'll be really upset if something happens and I have to go through some pita process to recover a bunch of accounts that use two-factor with Google authenticator.

Works well about half the time. I use this for a lot of apps at work and often times I'll put in a number, only to get an error saying it's expired when it isn't. One time at complete random, it started giving an error that it has no permissions to my camera, when I changed absolutely nothing! Every single setting said it had permission. I uninstalled and reinstalled, that didn't fix it. The workaround is to scan the QR code with a barcode scanner outside of this app and open in the app.

The app has completely failed on my phone. All of the app accounts that I had connected to it, and that demand it's use for 2fa, have disappeared, and I can't even figure out how to reconnect them. It really sucks when you have money in accounts that require an Authenticator generated code to gain access to them so you can transfer or use that money, but instead, you can't do squat! Your money is just stuck there. It's unbelievable!
