      …just a note re the Microsoft authenticator app migration to a new phone.  To automate it as much as possible:

      1) On your old phone, from the authenticator app, top-level three-vertical-dots menu, Settings: Backup,  toggle on “Cloud Backup”(“iCloud Backup” on iPhone): sign in to your account if not already signed in. The Backup section should now show your “Recovery account”

      2) On your new phone, open a *fresh* Authenticator app.  (If you had already added your Microsoft account to this newly-installed Authenticator app, from the Microsoft account Settings (Cog): “Remove account”.)  The app will offer to add an acct OR recover from Cloud Backup.  Choose recover from Cloud Backup (signed in to the same account.) All the old phone’s accounts will be added.  Then double check that both phones are in sync for each restored account.

      From the app’s top-level three-vertical-dots menu, you can “Rearrange accounts” (order) to match your preferences.
