Without my phone sending me a code every time I log I won't be able to assign it to another phone. I would need my phone to get the code the site sends to the authenticator to login. The phone essentially is the key to login. Without the key I can't login at all on any device!

Once disabled it won't be linked to that particular phone anymore, so when you buy a new phone you just re-enable and start again with the new qr code.
