Hi Steve, As above I bought a new Iphone. well my wallets are ok but after the data transfer to new phone

The App transfered and the tolken did not. I got the old would you like to create new
Wallet screen. So at this point I have a few days of mining that I can't access am I

When you setup your 2FA, you need to print out and save a copy of each of the dot code pictures you have to scan in.
And store them in a safety deposit box or fire safe. That way if a phone gets lost, or destroyed, you can scan the codes back in on a new device and get the new updated codes to re-access your accounts again.

If all you do is scan them in and not save copies, not sure the accounts can ever be recovered. 2FA is a double edged sword.
Careful you dont get cut.
