Caveat when upgrading from Google Authenticator 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 (iOS)

If you upgraded to Google Authenticator 2.0.0 (see my last post) and recreated all your account tokens, I’d like to warn you.

Your old account tokens will be restored. This means it’ll be difficult to determine which ones are current.

Solution: Rename your current accounts before upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 with these steps:

1. Tap the pencil icon located at the top right corner.
2. Tap on the name of each field to edit.
3. When you’re done, tap the check mark located at the top right corner.

After you upgrade, you can confirm the new tokens still work, then delete the old ones.
