Authenticator apps

[Ohilly]

I am about to leave for Argentina. I have google authenticator and okta (another authenticator app) on my Android phone and I use them for work. Has anyone used these in Argentina, and do you have to do anything special to get them to work? Thank you in advance.

Location shouldn't make an issue

I use Google Authenticator here for an account in the states without problems.

Do you have to do something on your phone (I have Android) to sync the time?

I haven't had issues in the past.

It probably uses GMT so regardless of time zone on your phone its always the same.
If anything, just set your phone to automatic update.

Ente is another Authenticator, that is open source and syncs between different platforms, Web, Android, iPhone, etc.
