Google Authenticator redesign adds a ‘Privacy screen’ lock and search

Google has rolled out version 7.0 of its Authenticator app, featuring a redesign aligned with Material 3 aesthetics. Key updates include a Privacy Screen that requires lock screen credentials for access, enhancing security, and a search option for easier navigation of app features. The QR code scanner has been upgraded with a flash option for low-light conditions. Last year, Google began storing one-time codes within user accounts instead of on devices, aiming for a "passwordless" future, while still allowing users to disable sync or avoid signing into a Google account. The updated version is available for download through the Play Store.
