Kudos to Symantec for saving as much money as possible for a security application!!! As with most things, it seems Symantec spent the lowest amount they could and as with most other things, you get what you pay for.

Maybe I shouldn’t expect billion-dollar companies to produce software that functions properly and is easy to use. The number of other poor ratings indicate that I’m not alone in my feelings about this app. Not being able to effectively link accounts, copy the OTP, or set up the app with a new phone is, well, absurd.

I’m bringing that up because it’s simple RIDICULOUS that a company with significant enough resources to reach a 10+ billion dollar valuation (and one that supposedly focuses on digital security!) could produce an app that functions so poorly. One entry I found for Symantec’s valuation is 10.7 Billion.
