If you use Google Authenticator, you can export two-factor authentication setups. You can use this feature if you want to use two-factor authentication on multiple devices or if you want to get a recovery QR code after two-factor authentication is already set up. You can follow these steps to export the setup:
- Launch Authenticator
- Tap … in the top menu
- Select Export accounts
- Select Continue
- The default setting is to export every code on the device. If you want to skip some codes, uncheck them
- Select Export
- You can scan the QR code on another device, or you can take a screenshot of the QR code.
- After scanning or taking a screenshot, select Next
- If you want the codes on multiple devices or want a recovery code, select to Keep all exported accounts
If you are getting ready to replace your device, select Remove all exported accounts - Select Done. If you are removing accounts, you will be prompted to confirm the removal
