does anyone know how to xfer google authenticator to a new phone if its an old v
(1/1)
Beamin:
I went from an Iphone 7 to a 10max. I need authentication for my new phone. The version on my new phone has an option to Xfer, but the iphone 7 seems to be an older version that doesnt have an option to xfer out only in. So if I want to use my coin base I have to have my old phone connected to the internet. Does anyone know how to email google tech support? I have been trying to fix this for hours and getting quite frustrated. Or is there a way for coinbase to generate a new QR code I can scan in my authenticator? I read all the articles on coinbase and sent multiple emails but Im still waiting to hear back about issues from last month for support tickets I created so their cust support is useless I  think they are flooded with emails and have reduced staff thanks to covid.

 :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:  I know its a bit off topic but im so sick of dealing with this.

Can't help you, sorry, but I learned early on to keep a separate copy of the key used to set an entry. Also, I replicate Authenticator entries to the open source 'andOTP' (also available on the playstore) which kindly allows access to the keys at any time. That ensures that a) I have at least two different backup sources for the keys, and b) I know a key hasn't locked me into a specific app.

I ended up using microsoft auth. andOTP will just grab the codes? EDIT andotp seems an android only thing. I wish we didnt have a "phone war" like vhs vs beta, I use apple because it works with low vision but I cant do half the cool stuff because my family has androids. Which are better but im locked into apple, I must say I am impressed with the 10Max how you can tap the back of it to control the front. Touch sensitive glass on back and front plus facial unlock is really cool. I wonder if it wirelessly charges I hope so.

Ah, sorry, didn't realise the 10max was still iPhone - thought you'd jumped ship :) There's a Windows equivalent too, but I guess that's not good if you're on a Mac (unless, parallels):

Don't know enough about iPhone to know what it does in that line, but Android will let you increase the size of display objects to assist with that.
