O Google Authenticator has received a new update with the addition of design changes and new features. According to the 9to5Googleone of the main novelties is the change in the copying 2FA codes (two-factor authentication) and 2SV (two-step verification). Check out the details.
To begin with, the update brought the version 7.0 for the application, which brought it to a Material You-style redesign, which includes elements such as Dynamic Color. As for copying codes, previous versions of the app allowed copying after the user tapped and pressed the six available digits in a list.
The new update has made this small procedure even more practical to do. In this sense, all the user needs to do is give the code a short torque to be able to add it to the clipboard. As this is something new, users may need to get used to the new method.

What strategies do you believe Google could implement to help users adapt to the new method of copying 2FA codes?
**Interview with Tech Expert, Lisa Amari**
**Editor:** Welcome, Lisa! The recent update to Google Authenticator has intrigued many users. What are your thoughts on the design changes and the new features it brings, especially the updated method for copying 2FA codes?
**Lisa Amari:** Thanks for having me! I think the redesign to a Material You-style interface makes the app visually more appealing and user-friendly. The update is particularly interesting because it streamlines the process of copying 2FA codes, which can often be a hassle.
**Editor:** It seems like the update simplifies the experience, but do you think the change in how users copy codes could lead to confusion for some, especially those who are accustomed to the old method?
**Lisa Amari:** Absolutely. Change can often be met with resistance, particularly when users have established routines. While the new method is more practical once adopted, the initial learning curve might deter some. It will be vital for Google to provide clear guidance on these changes to ease the transition.
**Editor:** That brings us to the wider audience — do you think users will embrace this update, or could it potentially create frustration among long-time users of the app?
**Lisa Amari:** That’s an interesting debate. Some may welcome the efficiency and aesthetics of the update, while others could feel frustrated by the learning curve. I think it ultimately depends on how adaptable users are. It might spark a discussion on whether ease of use or familiarity plays a bigger role in app design.
