> Google Authenticator did not transfer to the new phone properly.

This seems to be my normal experience with a new phone for MFA apps. I’m doing something wrong. That and setting up email are so dreaded that I hold off updating.



Switching from Android to iOS for a phone, I found that Microsoft Authenticator officially doesn't support this. You can't backup, you can't transfer. Everything is lost, please start anew.
