![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm puzzled as to how this could have happened. I've already read the Apple support pages and I don't think I can restore. What might have caused this so that I can prevent this in the future? This seems like a very sensitive or buggy feature - or the interoperability of the codes across devices, combined with icloud backup, is buggy.Īny help would be appreciated.Is there any way to retrieve the authenticator codes from a iphone/ipad backup?.Now, I went to use the authenticator app and only a subset of the codes remain on each device- and the ones that remain are not even the same across all devices. I updated one of the phones and the ipad to iOS/IpadOS 15.0.2. I then confirmed on each device that it had the same list of authenticator codes as the others.Īfter all lists were de-duped. So I went through each device and deleted the duplicate set. each device had a couple lists of the same codes). 'authenticator for ios') and it wants to take me to show it to me in itunes but I don't.

I’ll be uninstalling many Google apps in the coming month. Don’t even bother to ask for help because all you will receive is arrogant script kiddies belittling you for something you didn’t even know you were supposed to do. If you use the Microsoft Authenticator, at least it will remember your information while you are on the same phone platform. And if you lose your phone, you are just screwed with no recourse. If you change phones or migrate phone platforms, you are completely screwed unless you remove mfa from all your apps before you uninstall the Google Authenticator app. ![]()
