It supports synchronization of verification codes across multiple devices via a Google Account, with encryption for codes both in transit and at rest. Users may also operate the app without a Google Account, storing codes locally on the device. The software includes features for manual code transfer via QR codes, a privacy screen requiring biometric or PIN verification, and the ability to manage multiple accounts from one mobile device.
