Here's how to Use Google Authenticator on Windows.

i. Here are some potential pros and cons of using Google Authenticator on Windows:

Pros:

- It's free and easy to set up. Just download the app and scan the QR codes to add accounts.

- Provides an extra layer of security beyond just a password. The codes rotate frequently and are harder to phish.

- Codes can be used to access many popular sites and services like Facebook, Dropbox, etc.

- Backup codes can be generated in case you lose access to your phone.

- App works offline once setup - you don't need an internet connection to generate codes.

- Supports multiple types of accounts beyond Google, including Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc.

Cons:

- Requires you to have your mobile device with the app handy to log into accounts. Can't log in without it.

- Setup requires you to scan QR codes, which may be less convenient than entering a code manually.

- No cloud sync between mobile and desktop apps. Accounts don't transfer automatically.

- The app lacks some features offered by competitor authenticator apps.

- Limited customization options for the interface and functionality.

- Requires switching between the app and login screen which can be tedious.

- Potential security risks if your mobile device is lost, stolen or compromised.

Overall, Google Authenticator is a free, easy to use option for adding two-factor authentication to accounts on Windows. But it lacks some convenience features and customization options compared to other authenticator apps.
