How to move Google Authenticator to your new iPhone

When you update to a new iPhone/Android device, make sure that Google Authenticator is working properly.

Google Authenticator, an app and a service that offers two-step authentication with no risks associated in text messages, is a trusted service you can use every day.

If you’re upgrading from an Android phone to an iPhone 12 or an older iPhone, these steps are important.
