  Google Authenticator protects against phishing attacks in the cryptocurrency industry by providing a second layer of verification. When logging into a cryptocurrency exchange or wallet, users are required to enter a unique code generated by the Google Authenticator app on their mobile device. This code changes every 30 seconds, making it extremely difficult for hackers to gain access to the user's account even if they have obtained the username and password through a phishing attack.

  Google Authenticator is a powerful tool in the fight against phishing attacks in the cryptocurrency industry. By requiring users to enter a time-sensitive code that is generated on their mobile device, it adds an extra layer of security to the login process. This means that even if a hacker manages to obtain a user's login credentials through a phishing attack, they would still need access to the user's mobile device in order to generate the correct code and gain access to the account.
