![]() ![]() ![]() Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by requiring a randomly generated six-digit code after you've entered your password. Thankfully, both iPhone and Android let you easily transfer your accounts from one phone to another. Without those codes, you could very well end up locked out of your online accounts. Using a two-factor authentication app like Google Authenticator is the preferred way to protect your accounts (better than text), and if you're a user, it's important that you move your information over when you get a new smartphone, like the iPhone 14 or Pixel 7, for example (it's the end of the year, and many people could be swapping phones after getting a new one over the holidays!).ĭoing so will ensure you can still access your two-factor codes and sign in to those accounts on your new phone. This story is part of 12 Days of Tips, helping you make the most of your tech, home and health during the holiday season. ![]()
