Every article I have found has only discussed transferring between Android and iOS devices. On the Windows phone version, there is no backup area in the settings. So, how can I transfer the codes from my Windows phone auth app to my iPhone auth app?

Thanks

    Hi @breezett93

    Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

    There is no automatic way to transfer Windows Phone Microsoft Authenticator codes to the iPhone Microsoft Authenticator app.

    The best course is to set a new MFA of your Apps in the new phone

    Hope this helps!
