I have lost my old Android phone and I have an iPhone now. I added my account to the authenticator app on my iPhone instead of choosing Begin Recovery (since I didn't have an iCloud backup).

I got my passwords back but I don't have access to my keys. What should I do to recover those? Should I remove the authenticator from my iPhone and try to recover it on an Android?

I may be able to get access to my old Android phone. Are the keys still on that phone? Or are they erased now that I have added the authenticator on my iPhone?
