You can, if you backup your codes, if not, you'll need to reset in every website you used it.

Just keep a back up of your keys, which you need to generate codes when you log-in and you'll be fine, so even if for some reason you lost your phone or accidentally erase data or delete the app, you can enter that key into another Google Authenticator app and get the codes to login.

It also depends of the site you are referring, there are some sites wich if you lose your 2FA google authenticator they will unlock it from support so you can add a new one.

Kind Regards,

What does it mean? Should i have to write each and every code which i generate when logged in the site?
