Each device you use with GoodSync produces a DeviceID used to enroll that device into your list of Approved Devices. The device’s activity is logged and presented to the user allowing you to be sure of the devices accessing your account.
To add a layer of security, you have an option of authenticating using the Google Authenticator app or sending a One Time Password via email or text SMS to confirm enrolling a device into your list of Approved Devices.
