  One alternative method to access your cryptocurrency accounts without your old phone is to use a hardware wallet. Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your private keys offline, providing an extra layer of security. You can connect the hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device and use it to sign transactions and access your accounts. Some popular hardware wallet options include Ledger and Trezor. Make sure to follow the setup instructions carefully and keep your hardware wallet safe and secure.

  Another alternative is to use a software-based authenticator app on your new phone. There are several authenticator apps available that can generate the same codes as Google Authenticator. Some popular options include Authy and Microsoft Authenticator. You will need to disable Google Authenticator on your old phone and set up the new authenticator app on your new phone. Remember to securely backup the recovery codes or QR codes provided by the new authenticator app in case you lose access to your new phone.
