Help me understand one thing. More and more services are moving towards 2FA/MFA. The 2nd factor is in a phone app. What happens if I lose my phone? Without my old phone I cannot log into the services. How do I get access to my accounts again? How do I move the 2FA setup to new phone again? Do I have to do this one by one for all 50 2FAed services I use?

I am forever worried that if I sign myself for 2FA in 50 different services and then I lose my phone I may permanently lose access to my accounts.
