    I'm not sure about other authenticator apps, but I know that Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator both have options to transfer accounts between devices. You can check the documentation or support pages for your specific authenticator app to see if they offer a similar feature.

    Unfortunately, there is no universal method to transfer an authenticator app to a new phone without losing access to your digital currency accounts. Each authenticator app has its own system for generating and storing the codes that provide access to your accounts. Some apps may offer a backup and restore feature, while others may require you to manually transfer each account. It's important to research the specific authenticator app you are using and follow their instructions for transferring accounts. Additionally, it's a good idea to have a backup method in place, such as a recovery code or backup email address, in case you are unable to transfer your authenticator app to your new phone.
