Totally agree, I had my phone stolen a few years back. Had to buy a new one. What a surprise when I restored Google Authenticator and all my sites were gone. However I do have an issue with 1password's feature of auto-filling those codes, seems like it's just invalidated the whole "something you have" party of MFA. For me Authy is a happy medium

Google Authenticator is backed up on iOS if you use an encrypted local backup via iTunes (or macOS Catalina) or iMazing.

  Mmm, does that mean that now your iCloud password unlocks all your 2FAs? It isn't that bad, it still a 2nd factor, but it's worth considering it.

    When you make an encrypted backup, you enter a separate passcode. So it’s not your iCloud password.
