There isn't a way to move google authenticator 2fa codes to a new phone? I've got a dozen with different services and all my googling says i just have go through each service and reset them all up from scratch. really!?

That's what makes it more secure tho. If you can move it, then it can be cloned by an attacker. Granted this is likely not a threat profile most people are concerned with.

  So structurally, aren't you basically back to "just a password manager" then?

  I used to use 1password so the 2fa was in my password vault. migrated to enpass, same deal. 2fa is on all my devices all the time.

  The cheat is to copy the QR code or the string it gives you when you first set it up and store that separately from the device. Then you can move that code into other apps later. Won't help you in this case, but it will going forward. That's all Authy/1Password/etc are doing.

  I use Authy. It lets me use them across devices.

  I mean, they can let me lock that down if i was worried about that. It's really annoying i've got two devices, both of which i control, and data on one it won't let me move to the other... can you manually do it by rooting your phones? That might be faster...
