GOG add support for authenticator apps for two-factor authentication (2FA)

Good news for keeping your games secure, as GOG have announced they’ve added support for authenticator apps for two-factor authentication (2FA). Previously GOG only supported sending a code via email, but now you can pick whatever auth app you want.

If you have email codes on, you have to first disable it. Then GOG will give you a QR code to scan via your favourite auth app (or a code to manually enter). As noted on the GOG news post. Not much more to it than that!

This is great to see. I hope Valve eventually follow this for Steam, as currently Valve only offer Steam Guard which forces you to use their mobile app, which they don’t exactly put a lot of time into. Would be great if Valve also allowed you to use your favourite auth app.

While you’re here, perhaps take a look at some of the current sales on GOG like:

In case you missed it; GOG also recently announced they finally added dynamic bundle pricing.
