    I’ve recently gotten a new phone, and I use Google Authenticator for two step verification. I went into the security settings and don’t see a way to scan a bar code and set up the app again. How can I configure Google Authenticator on the new phone so I can use it again?

    Hi there!

    In order to re-scan the barcode for you mobile authenticator app, you’ll need to disable Two Step Authentication via Settings > Security using one of your backup codes. Once disabled, you’ll re-enable it, which will show you the barcode needed to link your mobile app.

    Let me know if I can help with anything else!
