Be sure to transfer your auth app data before you erase your old phone’s data

I have Google and Microsoft authenticator apps and I got a new phone recently. I didn’t erase the old phone’s data right away after I did the data transfer process. After awhile, I was like, “yep yeah everything looks like it’s here.” So I went ahead and erased the data on my old phone. Guess what. The Google and Microsoft authenticator app data didn’t transfer over.

Don’t be like me. Once everything is done transferring, go into your auth apps and make sure to export/import that data explicitly.

Thank goodness I was logged into google on my computer or else all would be lost.

kbye.
