So basically what title says.

Im using 2FA with google authenticator for multiple accounts. What if my phone gets stolen? Can I have some kind of backup? Or maybe sync with some self hosted service?

Bonus question: what 2FA should I use instead of google?

      I dont know why you got downvote. Seems like perfect backup if stored somewhere safe. Am I missing something?

        I’ve been followed around by a bunch of haters for a couple weeks now because I gave my unpopular opinion in one hot Lemmy thread. These people systematically downvote all my posts now. In fact, watch this one get downvoted :)

        I learned a couple of weeks ago that Lemmy is just as bad as Reddit. I refrain from posting stuff now on here now, because it’s just easier.
