    Don't panic! Losing access to your Google Authenticator app can be stressful, but there are steps you can take to regain access to your digital wallet. First, try to locate any backup codes you may have saved when setting up your Google Authenticator. These codes can be used as a backup method to access your wallet. If you don't have any backup codes, don't worry. You can contact the support team of the platform or exchange where your digital wallet is located. They will guide you through the process of recovering your account and regaining access to your wallet. Remember to provide them with any necessary information to verify your identity and ownership of the wallet. It's always a good idea to have a backup plan in place, such as using a hardware wallet or setting up multiple authentication methods, to avoid this situation in the future.
