How can I get Authenticator 1 on the App Store? Godaddy, my domain's retailer, wants me to use Authenticator 1 to sign in but I can't see it on the App Store. I have the Google Authenticator but it doesn't get any messages from Godaddy. There are loads of Authenticators on the App Store but not Authenticator 1 as far as I can see.

Is an authenticator needed for Apple computer of iphone? My "Frequent Flyers" account has been hacked (along with millions of others) and the site advice is to get an authenticator to reinforce 2FA. Can you recommend an Authenticator to use with MacOs and ioS? Or is it not needed in the Apple system? Thanks.
