Typically, you are asked to print out backup codes when you enable 2FA. In addition, you could copy these backups codes into your password manager and sync your password file with multiple devices, so whenever one device is gone you can access all your passwords, including 2FA backup codes from other devices.
- stouset 9y agoIf these backup codes are in your password manager, you're effectively* back to 1FA. Same with putting the TOTP seed into it. * Yes, technically you need the 1Password file as well. But someone who compromises your machine will get access to both. Or if you have it synced to your phone and both are unlocked with a fingerprint, all someone needs is your device and a little effort to fool the fingerprint sensor.
