So I use Google Authenticator for a number of gaming accounts and I have just changed my iPad where the app is located. After migrating my data to the new iPad, all my settings were deleted... Trying to recover them has been a nightmare.
Basically they are local to the device and if that gets wiped then you are up a creak without a paddle, unless you have the one off codes...
So starts the hunt for the missing codes. I am sure there were none for R* social club, I have searched everywhere as I have three accounts with them. My Uplay codes where eventually found on one of the drives I have disconnected in my PC as a screenshot. So I finally managed to get into Uplay and disable 2 step and then re-enable it to get a new QR code...
So my advice is make sure you know where your one off codes are as it will save you a heap of trouble and general grumpyness... Still waiting on R* though.
