I had MS Authenticator on my Android device. Later, I switched to iphone and installed the authenticator there. Logged in there with my account and activated it(scanned qr code). But push notifications still come to my old device. How can I make push notifications come to my new device?

    In order to switch IOS->android->IOS you'll need to turn off two factor at service provider as first step, install authenticator on new device, then at service provider setup the two-factor again. Backup / restore across platforms is not possible.
