The method I've referred to in my post is easy and takes 10 seconds. It has a transfer account option with the ability to import/export by way of a QR code. Your codes are then duplicated onto a second device. Since Google does NOT automatically restore these codes on a new phone I urge you to do this process ASAP. Some people have mentioned other authentication apps that are great and even have better backups than Google Authenticator.
