RE: You NEED to do this if you use Google Authenticator for Coinbase (before it's too late)

in #crypto6 years ago

But, if you got your phone stolen, can't you still keep your phone number on a new CIM card? I had my phone stolen once and my telco provider moved my number to another card. Would Google Auth still work?

If your provider can do that, then yes, that would be ideal. There is an easy recovery process if you still have your phone number. I was in Mexico at the time the phone was stolen. I didn't think to ask if I could move my number to a new card, but I really doubt I could because they don't ask your name or ID when getting a SIM so your number isn't attached to your name so I couldn't prove that the number I want to keep belonged to me.

Thanks for the answer. I was always unsure if Google Auth was linked with the phone number, SIM card, or email address I registered with my phone.
