Things to be done before upgrading to iOS5

Google Authenticator stopped working after I upgraded iphone to iOS5. It crushed right after invocations. My co-worker told me about this, so I was at least mentally prepared.

Actually, it is pretty troublesome as you’ll lose access to Google accounts. Before you’re upgrading to iOS5, here’s what you should do:

  • turn-off 2-factor authenticator
  • upgrade your iPhone to iOS5
  • uninstall Authenticator
  • install Authenticator from App Store.
  • configure Authenticator

It sounds pretty dumb, but worked.
