In the context of Salesforce, here is the explanation given of how you can guide a user through transferring the Salesforce authenticator app for a new phone:-

Install the Salesforce authenticator on the new phone

Instruct your new user to download and then install the Salesforce authenticator app from the App Store on their new phone.

Transfer authentication data

You should guide the user in opening the Salesforce authenticator app on their old phone. Within the app, they should navigate to the settings or even the options menu and look for an option for the transfer or even export authentication data.

Scan the QR code or Enter data on the new phone

Once you’re here initiate the transfer process on the old phone, he would be likely to scan a QR or enter a code on the new phone. You can instruct them to open the Salesforce authenticator app on their new phone and follow the on-screen instructions for scanning the QR code or enter the code provided.

Import com.google.zxing.EncodeHintType;
Import com.google.zxing.qrcode.QRCodeWriter;
Import com.google.zxing.qrcode.decoder.ErrorCorrectionLevel;
Import com.google.zxing.common.BitMatrix;
Import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.MatrixToImageWriter;
Import java.util.HashMap;
Import java.util.Map;
Import java.nio.file.FileSystems;
Import java.nio.file.Path;
Import java.io.IOException;
Public class QRCodeGenerator {
    Public static void generateQRCode(String data, String filePath) throws IOException {
        Map hintMap = new HashMap<>();
        hintMap.put(EncodeHintType.ERROR_CORRECTION, ErrorCorrectionLevel.L);
        QRCodeWriter qrCodeWriter = new QRCodeWriter();
        BitMatrix bitMatrix = qrCodeWriter.encode(data, com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, 200, 200, hintMap);
        Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(filePath);
        MatrixToImageWriter.writeToPath(bitMatrix, “PNG”, path);
    }
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        String dataToEncode = https://example.com/transfer-authenticator;
        String filePath = “./qrcode.png”;
        Try {
            generateQRCode(dataToEncode, filePath);
            System.out.println(“QR Code generated successfully!”);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println(“Error generating QR Code: “ + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
