FAQ

1. What should I do if I lose my phone with Google Authenticator installed?

After turning on Google Authenticator, if your phone is lost, the easiest way is to change the password through the web page. After the modification, as long as the person who picked up the phone switches folders or downloads files when there is an Internet connection, the mobile client will automatically prompt to re-enter the password.

You have to enter your Google account according to the prompt on the webpage: "Lost mobile phone", and you will receive a reset email in your registered email address. In the future, you need to back up the database file of the authenticator, package it with a password and store it somewhere else, and just copy it back to your phone when needed.
