I use authy (free) for 2FA TOTP and have it set up on my work laptop, my home laptop, and my phone. As long as least one of those is still good, I should still be able to get in.

I honestly don't know what's going on behind the scenes to know if this is not as secure as it "should" be. But this was my reaction specifically to the non-SMS TOTP 2fa: Wait, if I lose my phone there's literally no way possible to get in? Oh there is, if I have the backup codes... yeah right, you think I can hold on to backup codes? Surely there's something I'm missing, what is everyone else doing here? Oh, everyone else is just hoping they never lose their phone? Really?
