The official material describes it as: “基于时间的TOTP两步验证码生成器，数据全部存储在本地” This guide uses the recorded store pages and official project material to explain installation, first use, documented functions, browser coverage, pricing signals, permissions, privacy checks and troubleshooting without treating promotional claims as independently tested results.

Authenticator has verified store entries for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox.

How to install Authenticator

Open the official store icon for the browser you currently use: in Chrome select Add to Chrome; in Microsoft Edge select Get; in Firefox select Add to Firefox. Confirm that the title is Authenticator, compare the product icon and publisher with this page, and read the permission dialog before accepting the installation. This helps avoid a different extension with a similar name.

After installation, open the browser Extensions menu and confirm that Authenticator is enabled. Pin its toolbar icon when the product uses a popup; if it changes a new-tab page or adds controls inside supported websites, open a fresh tab or reload the target page. Start on a non-sensitive page until you understand the interface and access it requests.

Use only the verified Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox store links shown on this page.
Confirm the listed publisher: 51baba.
Review optional site access before enabling it for every website.

A screenshot is useful for orientation but may not match a later release pixel for pixel.

Use the extension settings to review behavior that can be changed, disabled or limited by site when those controls are available. Test one change at a time, reload the affected page, and keep the original data or browser state when the tool edits, downloads, filters, converts, synchronizes or submits information.

Who Authenticator is for and how to evaluate it

Authenticator is most useful when the documented function removes a repeated browser step or exposes information that would otherwise require a separate page. Evaluate it with a real but low-risk task: record how many steps the normal workflow takes, repeat the same task with the extension, and keep it only when the benefit is clear enough to justify another browser permission and background component.

For security, finance, AI, translation, downloads, account management or content-processing tools, independently verify important output and destination details. An extension can shorten a workflow, but it does not replace backups, the original website, professional advice or review of a transaction before confirmation.

Test one representative task before enabling broad site access.
Verify generated, translated, filtered or financial output independently.
Remove the extension if its current behavior no longer matches the documented purpose.

Free use, paid features and account requirements

The captured official material does not present a required purchase for the core browser extension, so this directory records Authenticator as free to install. That label is not a promise that every connected account, network transaction, optional service, donation feature or future release is free. Confirm current terms on the official product page before relying on the extension for a paid workflow.

Account requirements can differ by feature and browser. A local utility may work immediately, while synchronization, cloud processing, AI models, support, team functions or connected services may require sign-in or separate terms. Read the current checkout and account screens instead of relying on an old review, because plans and regional availability can change after this research date.

Check whether the exact feature you need requires an account.
Confirm current limits and regional prices on the developer website.
Review renewal and cancellation terms before starting a trial.

Permissions, privacy and current version

The captured product data reports Edge 1.0.1; Firefox 8.0.2. Where an Edge manifest was available, it declared or requested items including: storage, activeTab. A permission list describes technical access, not proof of how the publisher uses data. Read the browser prompt, restrict optional site access to the pages that need it, and review the current privacy information before entering confidential, financial or personal content.

The developer also publishes an official source repository, which is linked in the source record for readers who want to inspect code, release notes or project documentation. Store versions can change independently across Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Check the update date, release notes and ownership shown by the store before enabling an old installation again, especially when a workflow handles credentials, cookies, page content, downloads or account data.

Recorded versions: Edge 1.0.1; Firefox 8.0.2.
Manifest generation: 3.
Review the privacy section on the current official listing.
