The QR code is unique to each device and is generated during the initial setup process. Without the old phone, you won't be able to retrieve the QR code or transfer the authentication to a new device.

The QR code is tied to the specific device and cannot be recreated without the original device. It's important to keep your old phone or backup the QR code in a secure location to avoid losing access to your accounts.
