New phone. Transferred everything. Thought I’d transferred everything.

The authenticator app doesn’t move with a normal backup. I knew that. I knew it in the way you know things you’ve read once and filed under “later.” So at 9:40 in the morning I’m looking at a login screen asking for a six digit code from an app that no longer exists on any device I own.

Behind that login: a few hundred domains. Nameservers, renewals, transfer locks. All of it.
