My Square-Enix Software token has been registered for years but after getting a new phone I had to remove and re-add it.

This option is new..ish? How long has it been around?
It means I don't have to use Square-Enix's app for logging in anymore which is great.



It does work, I just logged into the game using it.

EDIT: Added in April 2021 apparently. Awesome.

Ya it's great, and the advantage of using Google or Microsoft authenticator, your data gets backed up so when you restore your phone, your token will still work. This doesn't happen with the Square Enix token app, it doesn't sync with the cloud or have any sort of backup feature.

Oh nice, I've been using Authy for years now because it had cloud backups and Google/MS didn't, but good to know they do now.

I have 1password which saves it as well, as well as auto-fills it.

I mean you could always set one of them up and then deactivate it, you still get the bag.

Anything that is stored on your computer/phone, like Keepass. I use it for auto-filling. It works flawlessly on any web and app. Backup encrypted databases to cloud storage.
