  To migrate Google Authenticator to a new phone without access to the old phone for cryptocurrency accounts, you can follow these steps: 1. Install Google Authenticator on your new phone from the app store. 2. Open the app and tap on 'Begin Setup'. 3. On your computer, go to the cryptocurrency exchange or wallet website where you have your accounts. 4. Find the option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) or manage your security settings. 5. Choose the option to 'Enable Google Authenticator' or 'Set up Google Authenticator'. 6. A QR code will be displayed on the screen. Scan this QR code with the Google Authenticator app on your new phone. 7. Once the QR code is scanned, the app will generate a 6-digit verification code. 8. Enter this verification code on the website to complete the setup. Note: If you don't have access to the old phone, you won't be able to transfer your existing Google Authenticator codes. You will need to disable 2FA on your accounts and set it up again on your new phone. Make sure to securely store your backup codes or recovery keys in case you lose access to your new phone in the future.
