I know this should be easy, but yeah, im sure you have seen it before - Authenticator gone. Is there any easy way to get my google authenticator onto a new phone?

GA doesn't let you backup all your codes but each one of them has a corresponding 16-character secret key which you can use for restoring.

1. I can get my screen repaired
2. Go through several weeks of verifying my shit to 15 different exchanges
3. Is it somehow possible to contract google and have them do something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if this works as I haven't tried it but you can try doing method #1 and get your device rooted so you can apply what is mentioned in here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/63252/how-do-i-back-up-google-authenticator

If method #1 didn't work, I'm afraid you will have to resort to method #2. After that make sure to backup each code's 16-character secret key and use an app which lets you backup and sync your codes like authy (You can search for more).

Correct me If I'm wrong but I think the codes are stored in your device so google probably won't help??.
