2FA iOS15 and restore question

[scottw75]

Quick question regards the new 2FA feature in iOS15. If you setup a 2FA code in passwords and then move to a new phone using the restore from iCloud option, is the 2FA setup restored or do you need to set it up again?

If it restores this would encourage me to use it as every time I move to a new iPhone I have to move over the Dropbox and Squarespace Authenticator codes in the app I use currently.

Good question. I am wondering the same thing.

I would imagine it'd be restored, since the feature is tied to iCloud Keychain (and that restores).

That will be something to figure out once i get my 13 this weekend.

It's in Keychain, so if you set it up now, it will move to your new device when you set up.

We know, as it's the same as it populating to my iPad, after setting up on my iPhone.
