### 1/5 — Doet nooit wat het moet

*2025-11-23, version 2.11*

Het beschermen van gegevens is één ding. Maar het feit dat ik meer dan de helft van de tijd niet eens op mijn Toledo geraak, dat begint me toch stilaan te frustreren. Al de keren dat ik meer dan een uur ben bezig geweest om op mijn account te geraken en de Authenticator app gewoon niet deed wat hij moest doen, vallen al lang niet meer op één hand (of zelfs twee) te tellen. Er zijn twee opties: fix de app of delete hem gewoon.

### 3/5 — irritant

*2025-11-18, version 2.11*

fijn dat ku leuven zich zorgen maakt over cybersecurity, maar dit ding werkt heel vaak niet wat erg lastig is als je moet inloggen voor een test ofz

### 1/5 — Werkt niet meer op iPod (6th gen)

*2025-11-17, version 2.11*

Tijdens de examens wil ik geen GSM meenemen naar de bib dus neem ik mijn oude iPod mee maar nu werkt dat niet meer!!!! iPod 6th gen IOS 12.5.7. AUBBBBB FIX DIT

### 1/5 — If I could rate negative I would

*2025-11-02, version 2.11*

Perpetual nuisance of having to scan to log in multiple times a day has taken the remaining fun out of study and that’s all thanks to this app. Whoever developed this app should walk to the ocean with their months open

### 1/5 — Heel irritante app

*2025-10-08, version 2.9*

Je moet je telkens opnieuw aanmelden en die push ding lukt nooit dus je moet altijd manueel de QR code scannen. Dit zou niet verplicht moeten worden

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-09-17, version 2.9*

Most catastrophic app I’ve ever used… truly.

### 1/5 — Neee

*2025-09-15, version 2.9*

Vreselijke app blijft me in een Loop sturen. Kul ik had beter verwacht van jullie.

### 1/5 — Werkt zelden

*2025-09-15, version 2.9*

Als inloggen met QR code niet gaat kan je kiezen om toch maar met je gegevens in te loggen. Maar die push notificatie komt maar niet, wat moet je dan doen? Aah ja, ook die QR code scannen die niet werkt. Wat is er mis met een code te genereren zoals wellicht ALLE 2fa apps??

### 1/5 — Registration of device is not possible

*2025-09-11, version 2.9*

Hey,

Love the idea of Authenticator (even if they are already a lot of existing one). But unfortunately it is not possible to register device. 

When trying to scan QR-code in order to register my device it doesn’t show anything on my smartphone 

Probably a bug

Thanks
Kind regards

### 1/5 — The worst

*2025-09-03, version 2.9*

Worst authentication system ever
