How awful was moving your data? I've been wanting to switch, but my big hesitation is all my 2fa apps cuz I really don't want to have to reach out to all my clients to redo those...
I just moved from a Fold 4 (hinge broke or something, when I opened it the screens would go blank and only recover on a hard reboot) so I got a Pixel 10 Pro, flashed graphene and spent most of yesterday reinstalling apps more intentionally.
Authy refused to run, which is fine as I've been too lazy to swap from it even though I've been pissed since they got rid of the desktop app. Anyway I went through the 9 sites I had setup there and swapped it over to my vaultwarden.
Other apps that didn't install were EBay and Coinbase, both I can live with using the mobile browser instead (don't use them all that frequently anyway).
I haven't needed to transfer much data. Three out if my banking apps worked with their proprietary token app required for living in our transferring money. Same with my stock trading app. But I'm thinking of moving those back to an older android again because, I dunno, I just don't feel like having it on my fault driver anymore.
I dunno what to do about Microsoft authenticator. I need it to log into my Microsoft account for managing my kids' screen time, I think, and for playing Minecraft.
I have Google's authenticator app which I've needed to log into certain services.
Sorry, I like tinkering with my devices but I'm not a very technical person, so I'm not sure if I've answered your question correctly.
Wait, why can't you just export and import the TOTP data? You shouldn't need to notify any of the providers...
I thought it didn't let me, but this may just be PEBKAC...
