Hello @Gilgamesh! 👋

If you're using 1Password 8 as your authenticator app for 2FA one-time passwords then everything is stored and backed up in your 1Password account and will automatically appear on your new phone when you install 1Password and add your account there. You can read more about using 1Password as an authenticator app here: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

If you're using a different app as your authenticator app (such as Authy or Google Authenticator) then you'll need to check with the developer of that app to see how you can migrate your one-time passwords to a new device.

I hope that helps! 🙂
