So i'm curious , I use the phone authenticator. And i swap from Pc to laptop alot and naturaly the phone is easier and faster then the email one...But today i cracked my phone screen a bit and i think its almost bye bye. So in case the phone dies what can i do to acces my accounts if the phone authent is stil on and phone broke? I mean il swap the accounts to email probably now but is there anything i can do in the worst case scenario if the phone dies?

You could copy the authentication key from https://www.warmane.com/account/security to paper/notepad or something. Keep it safe.
If the phone dies and the 2FA is still on, you can request 2FA removal via https://www.warmane.com/account/retrieve.

Yes the touch screen or how its called i dont know , I can stil see on it but you know how it goes with these phones when you brake it even a bit it can die really fast so yea it made me thinking lol.
I didnt fully understand you OhieMitzen , I'm looking atm at "https://www.warmane.com/account/security" but not sure what you meant.
Do you mean the thingy that says "unable to scan barcode? you can also enter xxxxxcode" or what key exactly since the key changes ever few secs on phone?
And didnt know i could request removal from there thanks for that!

The "xxxxxcode" that you can setup the 2FA account. You use that code to get the 6 digit authentication codes to your (new) cellphone.
Copying the 6 digit number that changes every 20 seconds or so won't help you at all.

Authentication
Hello, good morning, I have written my account and I had a problem with authentication because I forgot my Gmail, I have a Gmail password and Jamil is on my mobile phone because I do not have a username and I did not support Gmail, I have a problem now and If you are kind, just send me my username, my problem will be solved and I can enter the game now, but I can not enter the site because a 6-digit code will be sent to my Gmail and I do not have access to that code. Tell me to put you at your service with many thanks and gratitude from you

So i just put the code to some paper like you said also il put it on pc so i have it on multiple places and just continue using the mobile one. Worst case phone breaks totaly before i get new one i just copy code to other phone , lovely :D
This is what I asked for , Thanks alot ! :D

Or you just use copy of your applications) when I was changing phone, i just made copy of old one and after downloaded sample from cloud - zero issues till today, each and every application works correctly and as expected. But if you are into Apple "Eco" system that tends to poo on user then yeah, might be some problems with transfering 2FA data between devices (no problems with 5 2FA on my account).
