How to sync your codes across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch
Your codes shouldn't be stuck on one device. Authenticator App keeps the same accounts available across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, so you can grab a code from whatever is closest.
Set up sync
- Sign in to the same iCloud account on each device you want to use.
- Install Authenticator App on each device and open it.
- Turn on sync (iCloud backup) in the app's settings.
- Give it a moment — your accounts appear on the other devices automatically.
Why it helps
- A code on your wrist is quicker than digging out your phone.
- Signing in on your Mac doesn't mean reaching for another device.
- If one device is lost, your accounts are still on the others.
FAQ
- Do all devices show the same code?
- Yes. Codes are derived from the shared secret and the current time, so every device in sync shows the same 6-digit code at the same moment.
