About Google Authenticator
Google Authenticator generates one-time verification codes for sites and apps that support authenticator app 2-step verification, including Google Accounts. Codes can be generated without an internet connection or mobile service.
Signing in to a Google Account lets the app synchronise codes across devices, which helps when replacing a phone. Since version 7.0 the app uses the operating system's time setting instead of its own time correction. It suits people who want a simple authenticator tied into the Google ecosystem.
