Addition of Security Settings and Uploading a Barcode File on Google Authenticator

Components

The Google Authenticator is a software that is used by almost everyone in the cyberspace and this has helped alot to enable better security and should have a good user friendly effect for online projects and better development.

Proposal

In as much as the Google Authenticator software help users to secure their online accounts or portfolio, it's own security shouldn't be ignored because most users like myself make use of the Google Authenticator software on phone and this phone can easily be stolen and robbed since we move about with it almost all the time.

The Google Authenticator should also be able to enable a user upload a barcode file directly without going through the stress of looking for a laptop already another phone to enable scanning as some cyber space operators make use of phones and literally don't have or use a laptop. Most times, there is no way to scan a barcode because some website will not enable the input of private key and will want you to scan the barcode directly. But with the introduction of the 'upload a barcode file', a user can easily screenshot the barcode file and upload it to to the Google Authenticator software and get the result needed.

Benefits

The security settings integration will enable users set up a security access and be rest assured that it cannot be easily tempered with as some users always enable am the 'remember me' on websites operated on. So with the introduction of the security settings to Google Authenticator, users can roam easily with mobile devices without much fear or without the thoughts of someone trying to access their online operations.

With the introduction of the 'upload barcode file', it will be easy for mobile users to carry on enabling the 2fa on online websites without the need of a laptop as some websites would recommend.

Thanks for your time. This will do a lot of people good if implemented.
