    Thanks optional.

    My old phone was broken so was never able to transfer anything to my new phone.

    Now when I log into coinbase I can't pass the 2 step verify

    I can't add coinbase to my authentication because I don't have a barcode or a key.

    Where do I get the barcode or key to enter manually

    You don't need your old phone.

    The article explains how to log into your google account on a computer to get the barcode you need.

    So this i making me think if i have a 12 word phrase like i do for a couple of wallets? When i signed up at coinbase did i get one from them? i have authy with coinbase on it. Eventually im sure i'll have to get a new phone so do i need this 12 word phrase that i cannot seem to find for coinbase?

    You can back it up on Google Drive or iCloud if you trust them.

    Ok, i have the coinbase app but never used a coinbase wallet. So i guess thats why i never had a phrase. I use other wallets so i guess i'm good.
