Hey Swordmaker,

I finally did it... went online Friday night and ordered the new SE2020 phone, picked it up at a nearby Verizon store yesterday, and shortly after, was able to set my old trusty 5c on the shelf.... well, eh, not quite, it turns out...

Being an IT guy, my phone has upwards of thirty Two-Factor Authentication (2FA, a.k.a. MFA) entries, in three auth apps: Google Auth, Microsoft Auth, Duo Mobile. And while it’s not really surprising, it was annoying to learn that the auth apps’ application data is -not- transferred to a new phone. I guess it makes sense security-wise, but I had hoped that it would transfer and then require some sort of verification to become active on the new device.

Alas, no, I have to re-enter data, regenerate and rescan 25 QR-code images at Amazon AWS, run an Azure Admin re-auth cycle, and run a Duo re-auth cycle. In the meantime, the Google and MS auth apps are still generating valid TOTP 6-digit codes on the OLD phone, so I’m carrying two phones until everything is recreated on the new one.

Word to the wise — 2FA/MFA is a constant PITA. I’ll live, it’s not like losing my contacts (which transferred fine). But I’ll never get those hours back.

And I like the new phone. Very snappy.

By any chance, have you been following Apple’s interest in its own processor?
