    Hello @MasonYuan87,

    Welcome to the TeamViewer Community!

    For transferring the 2FA across different devices, you may Deactivate Two-Factor Authentication and then Activate Two-Factor Authentication on the TeamViewer Management Console. Please also have the recovery code ready as it is needed for the deactivation.

    See how it goes on your side and I hope it works smoothly!

    We are sorry to hear that you forgot your recovery code. In this case, you have two alternatives:
