    Hey,

    No its not working. Only asks for Authenticator. Use other ways to login is 1. Authenticator or 2. PIN from Authenticator = nothing works. Endless loop.

    Hi,

    But you must choose to Sign in, in another way, not with the Authenticator because you switch the phone, first sign in on another way (email, SMS), and then it will open a page where you can set up your new phone.

    I hope the above information can help you.
