github will give you backup codes you can print out and use in case somthing bad happens.
I personally have 2 yubikeys registered as the second factor and it works great. They last years w/o any problem.
- protomyth 4y agoWe had to buy yubikeys for various things since the whole cellphone thing wasn't going to work. You do have to buy multiple because of breakage or loss.
- cesarb 4y ago> github will give you backup codes you can print out and use in case somthing bad happens. The backup codes have a "nearly never used" issue: since they're nearly never used, it's easy to forget where you put that piece of paper (I vaguely know where mine might be located, but I'd have to lose some time searching for it if I ever needed it). And there's also the risk that the "something bad" affects both the TOTP device and the backup codes. If your home is flooded, for instance, you might lose to water damage both the piece of paper where the backup codes are and your mobile phone.
