    Moving your Google 2FA authentication to a new phone for your cryptocurrency accounts is crucial for maintaining the security of your funds. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Install the Google Authenticator app on your new phone. 2. Open the app and tap on the '+' icon to add a new account. 3. Select the 'Scan barcode' option and use your old phone to scan the QR code provided by your cryptocurrency exchange. 4. Once the QR code is scanned, the Google Authenticator app on your new phone will generate a unique code. 5. Enter this code on the cryptocurrency exchange's website to verify the transfer. Remember to securely store your recovery codes or backup keys in case you lose access to your new phone. If you have any concerns or questions, consult the support documentation of your cryptocurrency exchange for further guidance.
