Restoring JumpCloud Protect® Data on iOS and iPadOS Devices

JumpCloud Protect on iOS and iPadOS devices support backing up authentication data using Apple's backup methods. Transferring data from your old device to a new one requires backing up the old device and restoring the backup on the new device. This process includes TOTP secrets, but Push accounts require re-enrollment after the restore.

Important:

If you set up your new device without restoring from a backup, the Protect app will not have any of the existing data from the old device.

Considerations

  • On iOS and iPadOS devices, JumpCloud Protect supports transfer of TOTP secrets but does not support transfer of Push secrets.
  • On Android devices, JumpCloud Protect doesn’t support transfer of either Push or TOTP secrets. Support for this is coming soon.

Backing Up and Restoring Your Data

To transfer your JumpCloud Protect data to a new iOS or iPadOS device, use Apple's standard backup and restore process:

Transferring Protect Secrets to New Devices
