My trusty Nexus 4 is starting to have problems and I see that I will need to replace it soon. Since I have quite a number of OTP entries in the Yubico Authenticator Android app, I was wondering if there was an easy way to transfer these entries to a new phone. Last time I replaced my phone (pre NEO), I had to log in to each service, disable OTP, then re-enable on the new phone, which is totally doable but time consuming. I figured that since the &quot;secret&quot; stuff is all on the Yubikey NEO itself, possibly there was a simple way to transfer all my stuff over?<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.yubico.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=3896">NaturallyAspirated</a> — Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:54 pm</p><hr />
