Getting a new phone? Don’t throw out your old one until you do this one thing!

I almost lost access to my Exchanges when I replaced my broken phone due to MFA apps not transferring over. (Having my seed phrases saved me). If you use a multi factor authentication app (MFA) as two factor authentication for exchanges, do not throw out your old phone without transferring access! You can’t transfer MFA through the cloud without scanning QR codes from your old phone to your new one for most MFA apps. This means you need to keep your old phone long enough to transfer each MFA. Apps like LastPass Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and Authy allow for transfer with advanced settings. Don’t make the same mistake I did!
