  When switching phones on a cryptocurrency exchange, the 2FA process typically involves disabling 2FA on the old phone and enabling it on the new phone. This can be done through the exchange's security settings. Once enabled on the new phone, you will need to re-authenticate using the 2FA method you previously set up, such as a verification code or a biometric scan. It's important to securely transfer your 2FA settings to the new phone to ensure a smooth transition.

  Switching phones on a crypto exchange with 2FA can be a bit tricky, but it's essential for maintaining account security. First, you'll need to disable 2FA on your old phone by accessing the exchange's security settings. Then, you can set up 2FA on your new phone by following the same process you used initially. Remember to securely store your backup codes or recovery keys in case you lose access to your new phone. This way, you can regain access to your account even without your phone.
