I only enable 2FA if it's TOTP or HOTP. In the case of TOTP I save the key (the data in the QR code) in my password manager (KeePass), in the case of HOTP my backup key is in my fireproof safe at home along with other important documents. That's admittedly a small portable box with a carry handle, so easy for a burglar to steal, but it's also easy to get to and I can take it with me if I ever have to evacuate or move.

- StavrosK 9y agoSaving the 2FA key along with your password makes it a single factor. I just add every new key to my Yubikey (as well as FreeOTP on my phone), so I have a backup if one breaks (this is on top of the backup codes).
