Instructions for re-installing Google Authenticator without loosing any

current authenticator items.

Dialog will confirmOffload App DialogReinstall the app

After the re-install is complete you will be good to go and the Authenticator app will once-again open without crashing. You may want to re-install the app over WiFi as it will re-download the app from iCloud / Apple store.
