I am using an android phone and now i am using an ios phone . I need to transfer all the account in the android phone authenticator app to the iOS phone authenticator app. I have created Gmail personal backup account in the android phone and using that Gmail personal. I login into an iOS phone, but it didn’t worked out. Could you please help me to get all the account in the android authenticator app to the iOS app?

    Transferring accounts from the Microsoft Authenticator app on an Android device to an iOS device is not directly supported through a backup method like Gmail. The Authenticator app does not allow for a direct transfer of accounts between devices or platforms. However, you can manually set up your accounts on the iOS device by following these steps:

    1. Install Microsoft Authenticator on your iOS device. You can find it in the App Store.
    2. Open the Authenticator app on your Android device. For each account you want to transfer, you will need to access the account settings on the respective service (like Google, Microsoft, etc.) and re-enable two-factor authentication (2FA).
    3. Use the Authenticator app on your iOS device to scan the QR code or enter the setup key provided by the service when you enable 2FA.
    4. Repeat this process for each account you have in the Authenticator app on your Android device.

    Make sure to have access to your accounts and any backup codes provided during the 2FA setup in case you encounter issues during the transfer. If you have any specific services that you are having trouble with, please let me know!
