So I'm away from home.
I just destroyed my phone.
The screen is toast, but I can still plug in, and access the internal data.

My biggest loss at this moment is my Google Authenticator.

As all backups for this I have are physical and at home. A Month before getting to them Sad

Can anyone help, or tell me If I can recover the authenticator from purely the data side to place on my knew phone?


I'm locked out of my Bitcoin Wallets, Mining accounts. All sorts of crap.

Appreciate the help! Thank You!

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Although that may work for viewing, I'd have no control of it Sad

Ah that's true. Did you try contacting the websites where you have your 2fa set up? They should have a way of recovering accounts when users loose their 2fa. As long as you have your passwords you should be good.

For future reference, it's a good idea to write down the recovery codes you get when you set up new 2fa accounts. I'm sure that's the last thing you want to hear right now but still  Grin



As I said int he orignal post, I have most of those, in a lock box at home, which I won't be able to get to for another 4-6weeks, maybe longer.

Slush is being difficult, I'm unable to reset, my 2fa, and can't access the deposit wallet. lol
