Hi
I'm using Google Authenticator to login into 10 accounts on a platform. My question is if GA is sending the info back to the platform that the 10 accounts belong to the same GA account?
[Edit] GA is the only authenticator app i can use.
Thanks

Not really. I used lots of accounts on GA on the same platforms.

Why leave a potential footprint when you can completely avoid it?
use an opensource Authenticator like Aegis
 
Thanks. That specific site uses only GA. is there a way to use Aegis instead of GA?
Just put in the secret in aegis or something similar
See if those codes generate the same.
If it isn't check if aegis (or similar) has supports that type/hash function.
There should be very little to no isssues with subbing google's auth for another one.
Ones you will have more issues would be MS's one or Duo mobile which uses their own special types that are not inter-exchangeable.

Google authenticator does not send information about the linked accounts back to the platforms. Each account is independently authenticated, maintaining privacy between them.
