Its a bad design then :) . I dropped gauthenticator years ago because of the ridiculously user unfriendly inability to transfer/backup auth codes. What a braindead UX assumption. If you pursue security purity too far, people just wont use it.
- kentonv 4y agoYou can transfer the state between phones now, they relented on that (a good thing, IMO). Again, if you want auto backup to the cloud then you might as well just not use 2FA and rely on your password manager alone. Personally I use hard keys wherever possible. Much better UX (and security) than any authenticator app. Just have to buy and register a few of them so you have backups if one breaks.
