A comment on How to add Two-Factor Authentication to your website with Google Authenticator.

Note: Duo Security's app (for android) is better. It supports TOTP and lets you rearrange accounts. With more websites adopting TOTP 2-factor, rearranging accounts is a mandatory feature.

Google Authenticator's bug on this issue (android specific) has made no progress. The iOS Google Authenticator app rearranges accounts just fine.

Disclaimer: I don't work for, or have any stake in, Duo Security. None of this implies a preference for Duo's service (I prefer TOTP wherever it makes sense).

On the ios version of GA you have to hit the "legal information" button, before the "edit" button will work and you are able to rename/rearrange things.

No clue why, and you have to do it any time you restart the app (I think it works across backgrounding, but I can't remember). Pretty weird bug.

Good to know, thanks. Duo Security's app will work just fine with this tutorial. I just decided to use Google Authenticator because it seemed to be the best known TOTP client implementation.
