I find it amazing that something like this exists which can be copy whole hardware info :fear: Well I will not use this app I will rather just allow one my my device to not use 2 step like I did with laptop and once u are signed in you do not really need it anyway
It depends - if you add the device as a trusted device you won't need one to login for the next 30 days.
Also wait ...won't you need data to receive code in this app anyway ? Also won't I receive SMS when someone tries to use it ?
It's based on time. The app generates a code, you don't get a SMS if you use the app. https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/

But obviously it will be based on device hardware and cannot be copied ? I mean time wil be same for everyone but code different Or maybe combination of hardware and ur id ...maybe u can explain me how they do it :cantstop:

I don't think it's based on device hardware but rather your communication with the web service (like Google). Time +/- (username + password) More technical details here. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4226 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238

But here is the thing we have not heard that police device can receive 2 step authentication we just know they can see iCloud stuff which is not protected by it I will be surprised if it's based on password as entire point of it is that if you lose password and get account hacked u still behave this layer of security

Maybe I do not know technical term but I think each app installed will some match it with hardware in some way or have some kind of signature of device otherwise it sounds very unsafe

2FA is an extra layer of security IF your web account gets hacked. It is hardware protected - as in the sense that you need to tell if you're using it from iOS or Android. It can't be strict hardware protected - 2FA device with iPhone4S and X id. There are multiple reasons for it - the most primarily being web services do not manufacture your hardware. Google has limited access to iOS as an OS.
