- lotsofpulp 7y agoWhen you setup TOTP 2FA, the application should offer a few one time use codes (google offers 10, for example). These can be copied and stored safely somewhere. If you lose the one time use codes, then you're screwed. But that's the risk you face if you want the most simple and most secure method.
