The app on the new device will populate with your library cards, loans, holds, and tags from the original app.

Another Option

If, for some reason, you don’t want to copy a verification code from one device to another, you can create a passkey that will allow you to copy your Libby history and profile to new devices. For more information, check out this video about creating a Libby passkey.
