Windows 10: How do I set Authenticator to be active on my new iPhone?

I installed the MS Authenticator on my old iPhone and I just got a new one. All my apps transferred smoothly, including Authenticator, so I just figured once I log into the app on the new phone that would take place of my old phone, but that didn’t happen.So when I need to sign into a website that Authenticator covers it will send the code to my old phone and I can’t figure out how or where to change it? I figured I could change the preferences through my Microsoft account on my computer, So I log in and under “devices” I don’t see anything listed. So I looked under support on how to add dev

Authenticator won't transfer data from old iPhone to new iPhone

I'm trying to back up the Authenticator app 2-step data from my old iphone to a new one.

On the old phone the back up address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, while the back up on the new phone is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. But I can't get the app on the new phone to download the data from xyz back up.

So the two won't sync. So how do I get the app to sync with the old phone and import the data? Both are backed up and logged into to icloud, but the problem is I can't get the new phone to retrieve the data.

Hope that makes sense...

New iPhone-- Need old two factor authentication back... six digits, not eight

Hello, I bought a new iphone and transfered everything (i thought) to my new iphone.
The problem is when I did that my Microsoft authenticator app did not trasnfer to the new phone and when I download it from the app store and activated it, it did not work with my facebook page anymore.

It would generate eight digit codes.. not 6... it seemed like it go disconnected from my facebook

how can i solve this issue?
I am unable to go into facebook and change it because i had two factor authentication set up.

 

New Microsoft Authenticator version for Android and iOS - Oct. 12

Two factor authentication (TFA) is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two step verification process. After youve signed in with two factor authentication (TFA), youll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.
