Apple

For authenticator, I went on the website, removed my old authenticator MFA and added a new one.

Google Authenticator backs up to your google account, I learned this last time i got a new phone but you can enable it in the settings

Google Authenticator needs just signing in again to your Google account and it restores everything, if you have logged in to the same account on your old device as well.

Microsoft Authenticator can do sync but i have found it highly unreliable and it cannot transfer if you are moving from an Android device to iPhone. It uses iCloud to backup on iPhones and Google Drive (on Android) without giving an option to export anything. One more bad design by Microsoft, typical.

Just use Apples built in passwords and authenticator/verification codes. All synced through iCloud.

This is a summary of the process of changing iPhones. Note: your credit cards in Apple Pay won't transfer over. You will need to add them again to your new phone.

Save your QR codes to the notes app and lock it.

Use Yubikey authenticator with an nfc key and you never even login.

Bitwarden offers the ability to use as a authenticator as well as manage your passwords. Only costs $10 a year

Google Authenticator worked for me

Tell me you don't use a password manager without telling me you don't use a password manager

i already learned this the hard way lol back when i upgraded from iPhone Xs to 11 Pro, I thought everybody knows this already

Plus Duo mobile

Google auth added cloud sync, didn’t they not?

I use duo mobile it’s probably the best

This happened with iSafe Pro. I had thousands of pictures and journal entries stored. It was never an issue to transfer in the past.

Does anyone know if there’s a fix? Is this data still in the cloud backup?

Cisco DUO will also not be backed up. You actually have to renroll your device afterwards m

Not app but esim as well depending on your provider

I know this has not much to do with the post but when transferring over make sure your iMessages among other iCloud data are synced to the proper email before transferring over. When I got my new phone last month my phone didn’t tell me iMessage wasn’t synced till it was already wiping it and by then it was too late. So when my phone “fully” transferred everything over I had about 2 weeks of messages saved and everything else was gone. Luckily I backed my phone up the day before on my computer just in case something liked that happened.

Pro tip: 1Password has OTP functionality and it works really well.

Make sure to remove the AirTags before you trade or sell your old device.
