To avoid this issue, make sure you&#x27;ve logged into all your 2factor accounts, and have the new Authenticator QR code ready -before- updating.<p>eg. For Google accounts: &#x27;Move to a Different Phone&#x27; at <a href="https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthSettings" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;accounts.google.com&#x2F;b&#x2F;0&#x2F;SmsAuthSettings</a>

IIRC this happened with an update to Google Authenticator for Android as well. They rolled out a new version that discarded all your old accounts, and removed the old version from the store. Quite a nasty surprise...

I believe this is related to iOS 7: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6112077" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6112077</a>

Same thing happened to me. Presumably I can restore the older version from a recent backup, but this is pretty weak.
