You can do this, or you can just start using Microsoft Authenticator which will sync your Authenticator codes to your Microsoft account for when you reinstall the app elsewhere.
- GordonS 4y agoI just checked, and my MS Authenticator is backing up to... my Google account. So, I thought I'd better change that... but it looks like you can't change your recovery account. Why are 2FA apps so obtuse!
