> Unbeknownst to him at the time, Google Authenticator by default also makes the same codes available in one’s Google account online.

This sounded absolutely crazy to me so I went to open Authenticator on my phone and lo and behold it offered me the option of linking to my account and "backing up my codes in the cloud" to which I declined.

But I had never seen this behavior before, so is this new? It did not seem to be enabled by default in my case.
