**Subject: Feature Request – Seamless Authenticator Transfer via QR
**
I recently switched phones and found that my Microsoft Authenticator homepage (2FA entries) did not sync, despite enabling cloud backup and signing in with the same account.

I propose a feature where users can securely transfer their Authenticator homepage to a new device using a single QR code, generated on the old phone. This QR code could require access confirmation on the old device to ensure security.

This would simplify migration, reduce support requests, and enhance user experience—especially for those managing multiple 2FA accounts.

Thank you for considering this improvement.
