you must disable it first, if you save QR code it will make it easier to do, and if there is any problem you can contact the support to solve it. good luck

When you enable 2fa on the exchange ,make sure to copy the private key. You can use it to recover your account.

If you haven't saved recovery key of every 2fa you have set in your old phone than you have to deactivated 2fa from every sites and than activate again so that you can get new key to pair on new phone. There is no way to recover those key from your old phone to use in new phone.

If you save the image of QR CODE or private key of 2FA then just download google authenticator in New phone and scan QR Code in New phone or enter private key. It can help you recover your account.

Back up all your QR codes or switch to the authy app which will back them up for you. Either of these solutions would work, and I do both. I keep all them backed up in an encrypted 7Z file with a random 32+ character password and use a 2D barcode scanner with QR codes to keep passwords. I also add prefix characters so even if someone finds the QR codes it won't be of much use. A few prefix characters plus a long 32 character password on a QR code and a cheap 2D barcode scanner bought on ebay equals security and lots of mother loving win.

You can write to the support term of the exchanger involve to deactivate the authenticator for you. you know every you want to activate 2fa in a site, they give us secret key that include numbers and letters. it is better to save it, save in flashdisk or write it in paper and keep it safely. every you change phone you can put that key in your new 2fa apps

This, I highly recommend moving away from Google Authenticator and switch to Authy. It uses the same algorithm as Google Auth and so any website that supports it will also support Authy. With Authy, you can backup your accounts so it's easy to restore if you lose your phone or want to switch. I also think the interface is better as well. Ditch Google and move to Authy. https://authy.com/

If you have new phone, just disable and then enable 2FA again. I keep my QR printed and stored in the safe place to avoid communication with support in case of loosing/breaking/stealing my phone (and for my wife to be able to access my accounts, just in case).

I was about to ask this question because when you lose your phone, GA can be a nuisance. So it is advisable to save the QR code prior to losing your phone.

Make sure to back it up off the device with Titanium backup, or use an app like Authy so you can cloud back it up.

To transfer all information to another phone you must have the secret key which you had to obtain after the connection is two-factor authentication
