User reviews

Users express frustration with the Authenticator App being advertised as a Chrome extension but failing to support Chrome, Edge, Windows, and Linux platforms. It mainly works on MacOS, but this limitation is not clearly communicated, leading to confusion and wasted time. The app's misleading UX and unclear instructions about QR code setup contribute to user dissatisfaction.

Pros

Works on MacOS as intended

Cons

Does not support Chrome or Edge browsers despite being advertised as a Chrome extension
Not supported on Windows or Linux platforms
Misleading user experience and unclear platform compatibility
Users expected functionalities like QR code scanning that are not clearly communicated
