  One of the best ways to transfer Google Authenticator to a new phone for your digital currency wallets is by using the built-in transfer feature in the app. Here's how you can do it: 1. Install Google Authenticator on your new phone from the app store. 2. Open the app on your old phone and go to the settings menu. 3. Tap on 'Transfer accounts' and select 'Export accounts'. 4. You will be prompted to enter your Google account password for security purposes. 5. Once you've entered your password, a QR code will be displayed on your old phone's screen. 6. Open Google Authenticator on your new phone and tap on 'Transfer accounts' and select 'Import accounts'. 7. Scan the QR code displayed on your old phone's screen using your new phone's camera. 8. Your digital currency wallets should now be transferred to your new phone and you can start using Google Authenticator on it. Note: Make sure to disable Google Authenticator on your old phone after the transfer to ensure the security of your digital currency wallets.

  If you're unable to use the built-in transfer feature in Google Authenticator, another option is to manually transfer each account by adding them one by one on your new phone. This can be a bit time-consuming, but it ensures that all your accounts are transferred correctly. Here's how you can do it: 1. Install Google Authenticator on your new phone from the app store. 2. Open the app on your old phone and go to the settings menu. 3. Tap on 'Transfer accounts' and select 'Export accounts'. 4. You will be prompted to enter your Google account password for security purposes. 5. Once you've entered your password, a QR code will be displayed on your old phone's screen. 6. Manually add each account on your new phone by selecting 'Add account' in Google Authenticator. 7. Enter the account name and the secret key for each account. 8. Repeat this process for all your digital currency wallets. Note: Make sure to disable Google Authenticator on your old phone after the transfer to ensure the security of your digital currency wallets.
