Delete account from authenticator

Question

I need to delete an account from authenticator app. I have searched online, including youtube. A couple different ways were shown but none of them worked the way they showed or described. How can I delete an account from authenticator?

Answer 1

You know what would be cool about your instructions? If they actually worked. If someone were intelligent enough to make deleting entries not such a pain the a. You know what happens when you tap an entry to "tap the account you'd like to remove?" Nothing. The app just sits there like a pos. You need to make deleting entries possible for 1. And you need to make it possible to delete all the passwords it's storing too. What stupid reason was there to not include that?

Answer 2

I was able to delete my account by going to Android settings, accounts, manage accounts.

There I found the account and removed it. I'm sure iOS has something similar.

Answer 3

If this is for Android

Settings - Accounts and backup - Accounts

Find the account in there click remove account open Authenticator drag down to refresh account goes away

Amazing, I didn't even think of this - i think i've tried literally everywhere else. Thank you so much 5* :)
