Dog destroyed phone screen
Source Reddit Cybersecurity
Discussion
A user reported that their old phone, which contains their authenticator app for 2FA, was physically damaged by their dog, resulting in a malfunctioning screen that flashes green and does not stay on. The user cannot access the phone to retrieve authenticator codes or approve a 'trust this computer' prompt, and is seeking technical methods to mirror or control the device via USB to recover access. This is a personal device access issue caused by physical damage, not a cybersecurity vulnerability or threat.

basically my old phone has my authenticator app, and i never transferred the codes because i still used my old phone from time to time because i had all my spotify downloads on there. but since then my dog has bit tf out of my old phone and the screen now just flashes bright green and wont stay on, i constantly jus relock the phone attempting to type in my password (which i know). I cant mirror the screen either because there is no way to hit the "trust this computer" prompt. i need the authenticator codes to access my 2fa accs but i dont want to have to spend 200 for a new screen for an old phone i no longer use.
I seen something about forcing the mirror using some sort of debugging tool, but it wasnt very specific and i feel like thats because they dont want to teach ppl how to hack others phones which is understandable
i tried the siri trick too but i cant hear anything so i dont think that will work
Can someone point me in the right direction for one of these debugging tools that can force a mirror w control via usb?
(also ik this is prolly more r/techsupport but i feel like the ppl in this sub would be able to assist me better)
