Is there a way to transfer my Microsoft Authenticator entries to a new iPhone?
Asked by

I recently decided against getting the new iPhone 17 Pro MAX because I have around 60 entries in Microsoft Authenticator, and I'm dreading the idea of transferring them one by one. I know that transferring between Android and iOS for Microsoft Authenticator isn't straightforward. Am I really stuck with Android forever?

Honestly, I don’t think switching to the iPhone is worth it if you're popping up with all those Authenticator entries. You might want to consider apps that allow backup or maybe maintaining your Android a bit longer!

Haha, I can relate! My boss just switched his phone too, and he didn't have as many codes but still had to mess around with 15 entries! It's definitely a hassle.

Have you thought about using an app like Authy? It lets you log in on your new phone and automatically pulls in all your 2FA codes, which could save you a ton of hassle!
