Temporary Replacement for Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra

Lmr-eshtee on 10/07/2022 - 11:49

Hello All,
I unfortunately cracked the screen of my Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra and now i need to get the screen replaced. Contacted Samsung and they told its gonna cost me $510 and they will keep the phone for around 1 week. I have insurance so it should be ok. However i use my phone for work and with all the MFA setups these days cannot survive without my phone.

So my question is: what is a cheap alternative (Android) for my phone to enable me keep using MFA (google authenticator, Microsoft authenticator) for a couple of weeks? Has anyone gone through similar issue?

    The Nokia C01 at $59 (Vodafone-locked) is a decent candidate. https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/nokia-c01-…

    Just make sure you do the export/backup and confirm your keys are correctly transferred to the new device before you send the old one off.

    Do you have your old phone still? If so just use that. Authenticator apps use basically no resources and will run on a potato phone…

      Or does a family member have an old phone you could borrow for the week?

    To do it for free install an Android emulator on your computer. Install Google authenticator and Microsoft authenticator in the emulator. Can find emulators at: https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-emulators-for-…
