[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1032944, member: 52014"] To manually back up the codes generated by Google Authenticator, you have a few options: 1. Write down or print out the codes: When you first set up two-factor authentication with Google Authenticator, you are given a set of backup codes. You should keep these codes in a secure location so that they cannot be easily accessed by anyone else. 2. Export the codes to a different device or a cloud storage service: To export the codes from the Google Authenticator app, open the app and tap on the three dots in the upper-right corner. Choose "Export accounts" and then choose the location where you want to save the exported file, such as your Google Drive or another cloud storage service. 3. Use a third-party app to sync the codes across devices: There are third-party apps available that can help you sync your Google Authenticator codes across multiple devices. For example, Authy is a popular authentication app that allows you to backup your codes and sync them across devices. To set this up, you'll need to download the Authy app, go through the setup process, and then transfer your Google Authenticator accounts to Authy. [/QUOTE]
