Before you start:

1. Make sure you have the Google Authenticator app installed on your new phone. You can download it from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS).

3. Scan the QR code from your old phone: On your old phone, open the Google Authenticator app and go to the account you want to transfer. Tap the three vertical dots (⋮) next to the account name and select "Transfer account". Then, scan the QR code that appears on your old phone's screen using your new phone's Google Authenticator app.
4. Enter the account name and password (if prompted): If prompted, enter the account name and password to verify your identity.
5. Verify the account transfer: On your new phone, you'll see a confirmation message asking if you want to transfer the account. Tap "Transfer" to complete the process.
6. Set up the account on your new phone: You'll be prompted to set up the account on your new phone. Follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup process.
