Hello guys. Could somebody help me. I would like to move Google Authenticator to another phone and keep all informations I have there. How should I do it? Thank you

You should have the QR code that was generated for the authenticator, if you stored it somewhere safe, you could use that to manually add the info on another phone

The best thing here to do is to take the print out of the bar code at the time of generating the authentication code. You can keep it safe along with where ever you keep the pvt keys of your wallet.

first you need to delete google authentication that is now connected to your account, then through the new smartphone can scan the new code.

For this purpose I do print screen of QR code and store it on my flash card. Also you can use special code (also you need to write it in the first time)

At first when you use Google authentication, there will be a qr code, if you save good, then no need to worry about these problems, if you don't save, so you can only communicate by disabling 2 fa or exchange to solve the problem.

It is way risky to NOT keep a backup of the secret key while adding any account to Google Authenticator. If you lose your phone or if you need to wipe it for some reason, it would be a pain in the ass to recover all your 2FA codes. In most cases you'll need to contact the support on the sites where you enabled 2FA. (Trust me, I've been through this myself!)

To be safe: whenever you enable Google 2FA on any of your accounts, write down the backup key somewhere safe. You can use this key on a new phone in case something happens to your original device.

First of all deactivate authenticator where ever you have applied its usage. After deactivating then download google authenticator again on the new/other cell phone and again apply google authenticator.

If you save your private key at first, then you can directly transfer it, and if you don't have a backup, then close the Google verification first, and then re-create one.

It would not works perfect bro. You should keep your google authenticator should be changed in the settings for the trading site by adding the two factor authentication to make your wallet secured.
You should have the trading wallet or browser you are using should be from the same phone you are using google authenticator installed in the phone. This is the recommended option for any users.

To transfer all information to another phone you must have the secret key which you had to obtain after the connection is two-factor authentication

Make sure to back it up off the device with Titanium backup, or use an app like Authy so you can cloud back it up.

First deactivate the authentication from your exchange in your current phone,and then install google authenticator in your new phone and activate authenticator there,

What if I will lose my phone?

If you have lose your phone. You can write to the support term of the exchanger involve to deactivate the authenticator for you.

I was about to ask this question because when you lose your phone, GA can be a nuisance. So it is advisable to save the QR code prior to losing your phone.

Thats why i have doubts to use google authentication because you can be in a lot of troubles if you loose your phone.
