    Yes, there are alternative methods to import the authenticator without the old phone in a blockchain wallet. One method is to use the backup codes that you should have saved when setting up the authenticator. These backup codes can be used to regain access to your authenticator on a new phone. If you didn't save the backup codes, you can try contacting the support team of the blockchain wallet you are using. They may be able to help you recover your authenticator without the old phone.
