RE: You NEED to do this if you use Google Authenticator for Coinbase (before it's too late)

in #crypto7 years ago

Thanks a lot for the info. In fact, I’ve been looking for such a clear explanation for days. I want to get myself a new phone - throw out the iPhone, get myself a less selfish one - and I’ve been wondering about the Google Authenticiator thing. I have like 25 or more sites I use it for, but couldn’t find any decent info on how to deal with a change of phone.
I had never heard of this secret seed code. I assume this goes for more sites than just Coinbase?
I’d better get to work, then...

Sort:  

Just don't throw out the old phone until everything is transferred over.

For as far I inderstand I’ll have to log in to every site, disable 2FA, then log in again an scan the codes to te-enable it.
Whzt a hassle... :0(

It's better than the alternative. Trust me.
