"Security and Privacy" 2FA Remove "Google"

Please remove the word "Google" from all instances of the Security and Privacy implemantation for 2FA settings on the site...

As it's not the only system out there that can handle 2FA, It my cause confusion to new comers about 2FA with TOTP and will lead to questions about using other systems... Just call it "Authenticator App" and maybe links to other sources...

 

I personally use a YubiKey with touch actived TOTP

 

And to those new to TOTP always that a screenshot of the QR code and put it in a secure location, as this will allow you to add the TOTP to multiple devices in the future with out having to rebuild every 2FA from every site it's used on...
