Why not simply save the backup codes on a couple usb keys encrypted with a reasonably long password that you can remember, and leave one at home and one in another geographical area (e.g. parents house)? I do that and feel pretty good in completely ditching SMS 2fa. Once a year or so I plug the USB keys to check they still work. I, like you, don’t expect to be a target and have a very minimal social media/web presence with my real name.
- iudqnolq 7y agoAny advice on finding a small object you need infrequently in say a parent's house? I have a poor track record with that sort of thing that makes me hesitant.
- deanmoriarty 7y agoHaha no. My dad has a lock safe where they store jewels and important documents, and I just put it there.
