How to Backup your Google Authenticator codes | 2FA Backup

#Google #Authenticator #Backup
In todays video I'm gonna show you how to backup your Google Authenticator codes which is an essential procedure when using 2 factor authentication.
Normally, if you are using the Google Authenticator app to generate 2 FA codes for services like Gmail or Facebook, you should backup your setup key or QR code that you get when you activate the 2 factor authentication. Its very important for you to write it down, or print it off or take a screenshot of these codes and keep them safe, So in case you lose your phone, or it gets broken or you trade it in for a new phone, you can easily recover access to your accounts.
But, lets assume you haven't saved your setup or secret key. You can get your backup codes for your Google Account account by following the steps shown in the video.

This ONLY works to recover GOOGLE ACCOUNT, NOT your OTHER ACCOUNTS in the authenticator app, so be aware of that.

[DeborahPreuss]

I really appreciate how you kept it clear, short, and also pointed to another video I may need. Well done, many thanks.

[MyMotherWasaNinja]

Are these codes connected to an email account or a device? What if you have multiple google accounts?

[John.RSilva]

[jeffreyd]

Is one of the 8-digit backup codes enough to restore access to all the accounts I use with Google Authenticator? Also, is the there in only one QR code, or is it different for each account I use with Authenticator? Thanks
