This is a very good point, and I can see where the issue would occur when the OTP application used doesn't support migration to a new device (which some don;t in my experience). Another thing I (among other network operators) would like to see is the implementation of support for WebAuthn and multiple hardware keys. It's not solely sufficient in my opinion to have only a single method of 2FA possible, so the support of different types of 2FA would be great to have implemented prior to 2FA becoming mandatory.

Kind regards,

The current policy does not allow for having the same OTP code on two
different mobile phones at the same time, so the only way to migrate to
a new phone is to turn off 2FA completely and then turn it back on again
to get a QR code for the new phone.

When 2FA becomes mandatory, it cannot be turned off, am I right?

What is the plan to enable the moving to a new phone or other
authenticator device?

Best Regards,
