There are fake authenticator apps which will look very similar to the genuine apps but may ask you to pay an annual or monthly subscription fee to use the app. The genuine apps will never ask for payment. Some fake apps may also attempt to steal data from your phone including personal data, passwords and MFA tokens which could put Lawmaker, other corporate systems and potentially your own digital identity at risk.
