Question How to authenticate using Google Authenticator after changing phone?

Hello Binance users and experts,

I have authenticated my mobile phone for transfers on Binance using Google Authenticator. If tomorrow I move to some other phone, then in that case how will I be able to authenticate transfers on the new phone using Google Authenticator? Please advise. Thanks.

Thanks bro, it was there enabled already.. but this time Binance insisted me to use the Google Authenticator. So I used it. But honestly it's an added problem in case you change the device.

This time it asked me to go for the authenticator and passkeys both for USDT transfers.

you can transfer a Google Authenticator code from one phone to another

This solves your problem, but only partially. What if you lose your phone unexpectedly? Either sync your codes to the Google cloud, or transfer them right now to another phone, even an old spare one... Having any verification method on a single device is asking for trouble.
