Google authenticator app says that this version is no longer supported I'm a bit concerned about the message this app is giving me.  It is saying that my currently installed version is no longer supported.  Why am I getting this message directly from the app, shouldn't the play store be telling me that an update is available to update this app?
For some reason Google have created a whole new app for the new version of the Authenticator app:


New version
Old version

It is worth noting that as long as you still have the old version installed when you install and first open the new version, it will offer to import your old settings and accounts. If you remove the old version before running the new one you'll need to re-add your accounts, which may involve an annoying process of first turning off two step auth, and then re-enabling it on those accounts.
