Cannot find a download for my PC. I have a large number of confidential file that are urgent but am unable to access them. Not very clever situation!!

    Hello

    As much as I want to help you, it is simply not possible to install it on PC.

    The original answer given is unacceptable. If documents are received needing the use of Authenticator it is not reasonable to expect them to be downloaded on a phone!! Also I tried the alternative solution only to be rejected.

    I am not very impressed.
