If my mobile that i used for 2AF got lost or broken is there anyway to transfer the 2AF i have on it to a new phone? What 2fa software were you using? Authy? Google Authenticator? Something else? (Btw, dev and tech seems like the wrong section). And what website is this for? Title: Re: 2AF Question Post by: jacobmayes94 on January 19, 2017, 12:00:08 AM I am unsure, but you should always save the 2FA key on paper as I do so you can resetup the accounts on a new phone without the hassle. Good lad for using 2FA, always do it.

Title: Re: 2AF Question Post by: NeuroticFish on January 19, 2017, 09:33:08 AM Well i use Google Authenticator . how i can save the 2af key if it keep change always I have Google Authenticator on my phone and I found no way to transfer/backup the info out of it. But my phone is also not rooted. The only way I found to "backup" such info is at the original website offering 2FA: when you activate the 2FA and get the key, you usually can see the private/seed for your 2FA codes. That's the one you should save. Some sites offer only a seed to disable the 2FA, that is also fine for emergencies. PS. This thread should be renamed 2FA instead of 2AF and maybe moved into technical area. Title: Re: 2FA Question Post by: SkycityVictorians on January 20, 2017, 11:00:09 PM I use "Authy". You'll need to set it up using your phone number and a master password.
Your data will get synced with your other devices / new device. They also got a desktop version. Some services have a full Authy integration, but you can also import Google Authentificator codes there. Friendly Regards - SkycityVictorians |
