According to Mysk's tweet, the latest version of Google Authenticator Cloud Sync feature does not use end-to-end encryption, which will leak 2FA secret keys and increase the risk of account security. Gate suggest that you immediately disable the "Cloud Sync" feature and reset all accounts with 2FA.

Risk Waring

-Activating Cloud Sync will expose all the Google Authentication 2FA Codes bound to the account.
-If you have already enabled Cloud Sync, we suggest you disable Cloud Sync and reset all the bound Google Authentication Codes.
-2FA secret key will leak and cause asset security. Please disable it immediately.

2.Select "Use Authenticator without an account".
3.Remind pop-up, click "Continue"
4.Back to home page and confirm that you have deactivated Cloud Sync
