If you have a backup, try to restore it on your new iphone. In the vast Google Authenticator didn’t restore, but I read it may now?
FWIW, this is the reason I use Authy, it works nicely with backup/restore. Beware that Authy has a cloud backup/multi device function that I personally keep off. Another option would be 1password, though I’d personally won’t mix passwords and 2fa codes in the same app.
Assuming the worst case where you can’t recover the codes, and assuming it course you never stored the offline codes, you have to go through the process of recovering 2fa.
This usually requires submitting documents that prove who you are, and waiting 1-2 weeks. So the only recommendation is to begin this process asap.
And while you re-setup 2fa make sure you either keep a backup or use an app that works when you backup+restore your phone, Im sure others will provide more options. Good luck!
- peacemaker 4y ago+1 for Authy, though I keep the backups and multi-device turned on for convenience. My old phone died and I had no way of getting into some of my 2FA secured accounts a while back and it was a wakeup call that eventually led to using Authy.
- kawsper 4y agoOur org is using a mix of Google Authenticator and Authy, but I am currently trialing https://2fas.com/ https://2fas.com/ which is an opensource application that work with iOS backups.
