How to export Google Authenticator to your new phone

Step 1: On your existing smartphone:

• Open the Google Authenticator app.
• Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
• Select Transfer accounts.
• Choose Export accounts and enter your PIN code when prompted.
• Select the accounts you wish to transfer to your new phone, then tap Next.
• A QR code will appear on your screen. Keep this screen open — you’ll need to scan this code from your new phone.

Note: Ensure that the Google Authenticator app is already installed and set up on your new smartphone before proceeding.

Step 2: On your new smartphone:

• Open the Google Authenticator app.
• Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
• Select Transfer accounts.
• Tap Import accounts.
• Choose Scan QR codes.
• Use your new phone’s camera to scan the QR code displayed on your old device.
• Once the scan is complete, your Google Authenticator codes will appear on your new phone — your transfer is now complete and ready for use.

Security Note:

After successfully transferring your 2FA accounts:

• Delete the displayed QR code or close the export screen on your old device immediately to prevent unauthorized access.
• Verify that each account on your new phone generates valid 2FA codes before uninstalling Google Authenticator from your old device.
• Keep your devices secure and never share QR codes or backup keys with anyone.
