Authenticator app gives me just 6 digits, it does not seem to be safe. I wonder how much resources attacker would need to compromise google account by brute force method.

(of course he would need to know my google account password)




Its near impossible. Not only would they need to brute force it, but they'd need to brute force it in the 30 second window available before the code rotates again.
