Instructions for re-installing Google Authenticator without loosing any current authenticator items.
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.
Honestly, Google authenticator is behind-the-times in terms of a solid 2-factor authentication app. You can tell by the many 2-star and worse reviews. Personally, I’m switching to Authy after this IOS 14 mishap

You are a lifesaver. Thanks.
Mine is doing the same, but mine is also controlled by my employer. When I do this, “Offload App” is not an option. Where to do from there?
You might be able to backup your phone to your computer via iTunes and then restore from a backup. This may re-enable the app.
The safest thing to do is to get your employer to allow app offloading via the provisioning profiles.
I wanted nothing to do with contacting my IT team to re-setup my authenticator and this post saved the day. Thank you for providing CLEAR instructions on how to do this. Huge TIME SAVER!
