Thank you for you help! I appreciate it!!!!

Great video, thank you. I tried to restore my Microsoft authenticator yesterday by using the restore from backup option on the new phone. It restored all my accounts except for all Outlook and Microsoft 365 accounts because it said that "additional authentication is required" and "action required" which means that I will have to login into 20 Microsoft 365 accounts to rescan the QR codes. That really defeats the purpose of recovery.

All the best! That doesn't sound fun.

Yes exactly the same here, the backup is useless. I ended up moving all my Microsoft 2fa to the Google Authenticator which does backup and restore properly

How to do this from android to ios?

[@How2Harbor]

Hey there the steps should be the same regardless of the type of device.

[@philip_james]

It doesn't work, it will list all your accounts but you have to re authenticate all of them

Good grief what a horrible *how to* video.
