- Dec 17, 2021 · 3 years agoYes, you can transfer your Google Authenticator settings to a new iPhone. Here's how: 1. Install Google Authenticator on your new iPhone from the App Store. 2. Open the app on your new iPhone and tap on the '+' button to add an account. 3. On your old iPhone, open Google Authenticator and go to 'Settings' > 'Transfer accounts' > 'Export accounts'. Follow the instructions to generate a QR code. 4. On your new iPhone, tap on 'Scan a QR code' and scan the QR code displayed on your old iPhone. 5. Once the QR code is scanned, your accounts will be transferred to your new iPhone. It's important to note that not all cryptocurrency exchanges support Google Authenticator. Some exchanges may have their own two-factor authentication methods or recommend using hardware wallets for added security. If you're using BYDFi as your cryptocurrency exchange, they have a dedicated support team that can assist you with the transfer process. Simply reach out to their support team and they will guide you through the steps. Remember to securely store your recovery codes or backup keys in case you lose access to your new iPhone.
