Good job indeed.Started happening some time in Novenber, and they merrily keep rolling out this buggy Google Authenticator update after people reported the lock-out behaviour you encountered. Apart from corrupting the TOTP seeds for some users, this update also introduced the splendid new feature of backing up those secrets in, of all places, the Google cloud, opening up new vistas for hackers to take over your Google account completely. Which apart from being a rather catastrophic issue in general for many people is a very good starting point for emptying your online bank or crypto exchange account: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42450221 So farewell, Google Authenticator, won't miss you.
