    One way to reset Google Authenticator without your old phone is to use the backup codes that you should have saved when you set up the Authenticator. These codes can be used to disable the Authenticator on your old phone and set it up on your new phone. If you don't have the backup codes, you can contact the support team of the cryptocurrency exchange or platform you are using. They may have a process in place to help you reset the Authenticator without your old phone. Make sure to provide them with any necessary verification information to prove your ownership of the account.

    Unfortunately, if you don't have the backup codes and the support team of the cryptocurrency exchange or platform you are using doesn't have a process to reset the Authenticator without your old phone, it may be difficult to regain access to your accounts. In such cases, it is important to reach out to the support team and explain your situation. They may be able to guide you through alternative methods or security measures to regain access to your accounts. Remember to always keep your backup codes in a safe place to avoid such situations in the future.
