Google Authenticator has a backup/transfer option now. For the love of Satoshi, use
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Here's how to do it:</p> <ol> <li>Prepare a safe second device, like an old phone (or a new one of course)</li> <li>Open Google Authenticator on your main device</li> <li>Tap the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the screen</li> <li>Tap transfer</li> <li>Tap export</li> <li>Tap next</li> </ol> <p>This shows a QR which you can then Import on another device with Google Authenticator. You cannot screenshot it on Android.</p> <p>Do this before you lose your phone or before it goes tits up. Going through the 2FA recovery process without a backup is HELL ON EARTH.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/unprotextor"> /u/unprotextor </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/nmt1bg/google_authenticator_has_a_backuptransfer_option/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/nmt1bg/google_authenticator_has_a_backuptransfer_option/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
