 Let's just get to some of this stuff Phil has I have no particular order today I'm in a brain fog today, so I have no idea what I've got if I've got the thing or you know Just another thing, but I've got something. We'll see how we do Phil has a tail of warning a PSA if you will to share he says Gentlemen, I got caught so did my brother and I'm sure there are others without Yet knowing what Phil is about to share folks I can tell you I was one of these people one day and I can't believe we didn't share this on the show He says it turns out that when you migrate to a new iPhone using the direct Transfer or backup and restore procedures Google authenticator does not move its entries with it to the new phone a Separate export and import is required that takes the presence of mind to be thinking about Google authenticator When doing your migration for most of us we think about the authenticator out the next time we need it Which is almost always after you've wiped and sold your old phone in my brother's case He was using it as two-factor authentication for crash plan and when there was no fallback for authenticating He had to contact support and have them reset his account You could argue that all of this improved security But the inconvenience slash security ratio is fairly high and that leads to a bigger question Are authenticator apps interchangeable and can we do something to solve this and the answer is yes I as I said I got caught by this to John I Years ago, you know, I was using Google authenticator because that's what it said to use or whatever I was using said to use probably Google and And then it was like wait all my entries are gone It was you know weeks later that I that I noticed this and that's when I moved all of my two-factor authentication into one password now it starts becoming less to factor and to entry when the password and the You know the the the one-time code if you will are not only stored on the same device But stored in the same piece of software however That comes, you know, I always say we choose our point on the continuum between ultimate security and ultimate convenience, right and In this case Trending a little bit more towards convenience is what works certainly for me and probably for a lot of us So yeah, I moved I moved everything into one password so that it has the benefit of yes Carrying to your new devices with you but also being available on all your devices So I don't need to go to Google authenticator when I'm logging in on my Mac It just has it right there again not to factor anymore, but a little bit better
