Microsoft Authenticator syncs across all instances so you just have to log in to a new Authenticator on the new phone and the codes are there. (I think it uses OneDrive).
I am sure that is less secure than a local only copy but this may be least bad of all alternatives.
You might even give a trusted person a login and have it on their phone so you can use theirs in an emergency.

- ranger_danger 4y agoIt doesn't need a login... only the syncing part uses your account.
