Email vs Google Authenticator app

Hoping this is the correct place to post this.

I’d just like to ask, which is better (i.e. safer), email authentication or the Google Authenticator app?

I suppose one con of email authentication is if your computer gets compromised, potentially there is essentially no protection. What are the pros and cons of each?

Are there much complaints by app users about getting locked out?

Thanks!

I recommend Mobile Auth, if you can do it, but any auth is a very good idea!
