Accounts of authenticator apps are easily transferable

Do you use two-step-verification to keep your various online accounts safe ? If not , then it is worth paying constant attention to it. Generally , if we are using two-step-verification, after activating it in various services , we can provide our username and password , then we can do the second step verification in different ways.

One such way is to use Google's Authenticator app. In it we can also get verification code for Facebook or other accounts other than Google. The fun thing about this service is that it works even without an internet connection! After we install the app of this service in our phone, different accounts can be set up in it and then we can get the verification code of each account in it. It is a long ritual, so we will talk about it again sometime , but for now, let's talk about the work for those who use it.

What happens if you have installed the Authenticator app on one phone and set up different accounts , then you get a new phone ? If the authenticator app on the old phone is hastily uninstalled, it may be difficult to get the second step verification.

Instead , install this app on the new phone as well and open the app on the old phone , find the ' Transfer Accounts ' option in its menu . From here you can generate a QR code for all the accounts in the old phone. Then by scanning this code with the authenticator app on the new phone , all the account details from the old phone will be transferred to the new phone!
