## myGov Code Generator Description
ABOUT THE APP
The myGov Code Generator app creates codes. You enter a code from the app when you’re signing in to your myGov account at my.gov.au. You can’t sign in to your myGov account through the app.
You use the code generated by the app instead of SMS codes or secret questions.

SET UP THE APP
After you download the app, you need to set it up on your device. The app will generate codes after you’ve finished setting it up. 
During set up: 
  • we’ll ask you to read and accept the Terms of Use
  • we’ll ask you to set up SMS codes as your sign in back-up, if you use secret questions
  • your myGov sign in option will change to use a code from this app, instead of SMS codes or secret questions
  • your myGov account sign in settings will automatically register your device for the app.

USING THE APP
Once you’ve set up the app on your device:
  1. go to my.gov.au 
  2. sign in to myGov with your username and password
  3. open the app and enter the 6 digit code.

UNINSTALLING THE APP OR GETTING A NEW DEVICE
You could lose access to your myGov account if you:
  • uninstall the app from your device
  • get a new device.

To prevent losing access to your account, you must change your myGov account sign in settings.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR DEVICE
If you lose your device with the app installed, you can still access your account with your sign in back-up. You’ll need to change your myGov account setting sign in options. If you don’t have a back-up, you’ll lose access to your account.

APP TIMER AND CODE
A new code will display every 30 seconds. A countdown timer resets each time a new code generates. You have a further 30 seconds to use the code before it expires. 
You’ll need to use a new code each time you sign in to your myGov account. You can copy and paste the code, if you sign in to my.gov.au on the same device.

MORE HELP
Go to my.gov.au or call the myGov helpdesk on 13 23 07 and select option 1.

## myGov Code Generator Reviews in Australia

### *---- "DO NOT INSTALL"
This app may force you to delete your mygov account. It is beyond inconceivable that it is still supported. Do not setup or install this. Use email based mfa.
-- Av01234567, 2025-01-08

### *---- "Poor"
Not working
-- Fockys, 2025-01-07

### *---- "Australia government making things difficult"
There are so many easy to use tested applications for authentication and so easy to integrate and use to all systems! Why you always make things difficult for users!? I am an IT expert but i struggle using your system! Connect and disconnect of the app to the website is so bad and confusing. I really hate using things that waste time and energy and not help. Do someone from your team really read these review??? Do you care where you spend my paid tax to build such an application??? You are wasting our money to make our life more difficult! Disappointed 👎🏻
-- Hamish.Amrabadi, 2024-12-24

### *---- "WARNING Hackers use this app"
I recently got hacked without opening or clicking on any links!! Hackers used this code generator app to log into myGov and used my links for the ato to do a tax amendment and Centrelink to apply for a advance loan and change my banking details to there’s and stole money from my account. Please everyone be safe online. The government seriously need to pull there finger out and do something against cyber crime
-- Peter Nowland, 2024-12-01

### *---- "Rip Off"
Why did I have to pay $20 for a government app to login to my government account. 
Why does the government need to make everything harder and more expensive…
-- zc005717, 2024-11-26

### *---- "Cannot use existing registered devices"
If my device is already registered… I can’t make this application work. Application guidance is to remove my registered device and re-register. Too much mucking around.  I’ll stick to SMS.
-- alittlebitdifferent, 2024-11-19

### *---- "Don’t do it!"
This app has some pretty bad loop holes in it, one leading to me being hacked and my tax return being submitted in an attempt to get a refund, and my BAS being revised in an attempt to get another refund.  I seriously don’t know how the government allowed such an app to be used for their services with so many holes in it!!
-- mcRob123, 2024-11-15

### *---- "The whole suite is garbage"
The above says it all
-- Jhgfddghhj, 2024-10-25

### *---- "Why does it keep locking you out after every update!"
Every time I try and use this app it has been updated and I am locked out! It keeps telling me that this app has already been authorised by another device. Yes this device!! The same one each time! I give up.
-- Caro-7, 2024-10-24

### *---- "Let me use my existing 2FA app"
Why do I need another app? Especially one that doesn’t offer backup codes
-- Ugglugg, 2024-10-21
