What Windows Phone app for securing 2-fac Auth? - Pharmacist - Feb 10, 2016
Went to change my username and my password was wrong and I didn't change it, so I reset my password and now I want to enable 2-factor auth just in-case someone's trying to access my account.
I'm using a Windows 8 Phone, I'd like to be able to backup the Auth code in-case the phone breaks and I need to recover it.
Any ideas? š¤

But I don't see where it says that It backs up the code.
I could use any number of apps, but If the phone breaks I need to be able to recover it.

There is no other 2fa application for windows phone. Microsoft authenticator doesn't provide backup option. Sorry.

Authy has a website that you can make an account on and do it all from your browser (I think!)
https://www.authy.com/
Edit:
It's a browser add-on should work on windows phone though!

You could use Authy on the windows phone. So far, any type of device I can think of is compatible for usage with Authy.
