        I have a broken phone, where I have retrieved all data via recovery mode and ADB.
        I want to reinstall my phone and restore Authenticator NG settings from the data I have saved. How do I do that ? Can I just copy paste from a folder in the old dataset to a location in the new instal?

          Reply to myselves and all others in same situation:

          • open adb shell to the phone with the new installation
          • Go to the Authenticator NG folder: cd ~/.config/authenticator-ng.dobey
          • Rename the current config file, in case you want it back later: mv authenticator.conf [newname]
          • exit ADB
          • Push your saved authenticator.conf to the reight location on the new installation: adb push [local path/authenticator.conf] /home/phablet/.config/authenticator-ng.dobey
