2FA-Recovering your KYC Google Auth Keys.

I use my wife's smartphone as a backup) In my opinion, there is nothing easier than this.  Previously, I used my old smartphone for this purpose. I hope I don't have to use this method to restore my account, but a copy of my 2fa Google Auth must be saved.

It sounds good to have a second phone as a way to easily transfer your accounts in any moment but it's not a backup. If I understand correctly, you have two different devices with the same account keys running in both of them?

Recently I upgrade my phone and I was searching for this guide on the internet, most of them which I found are either outdated or not easy to understand.

Thankfully saw this thread and thanks to your guide I can now easily transfer my authenticator's data from my old phone to the new one.

Yes, you got it right. I've already used this copy of Google's two-factor authentication several times when I transferred it to a new smartphone. There was also a case when I had to reset the data to factory settings and, accordingly, without a copy of my keys, I would not be able to restore access without the help of the support service.

Glad that it helps as it should be, thank you for your words.

Great info, I didn't know that. When I get my new phone (still with a back up one), I will try it as well.
