RE: Export Google Authenticator credentials to other device 获取2FA生成密码

in #security • 7 years ago (edited)

The best and easy is to root the phone. But if you are not, maybe you can try disable and re-enable 2FA on the new device. Whatever 2FA apps you are using, remember

You should also start backing up the credential whenever you setting up a new 2FA login for a service.

So you can easily switch to whatever 2FA apps on whatever devices while still pointing to the same service without the troublesome disable and re-enable way.

    Thanks for the advice! Yes I'll be doing that soon. It'll be a nightmare to not have 2FA credentials saved and then suddenly either lost the app or worse, the phone.

      You can go to the google official site to switch 2FA device too. But of course holding the credentials is best since you will be able to access same 2FA code using multiple devices.
