Good luck trying to save those QR codes, though. I had to resort to pulling out my DSLR to take a photo of my phone with them. All screenshot/print/save functionality is disabled when you have the codes up on your phone. You need an actual camera on a second device to save them in most cases.

  Not true, I just did it a few weeks ago when moving to a new phone. Just screenshotted the backup QR code and when I got my new phone later I used the screenshot.

    At least on recent Android versions, it blocks you from screenshotting it, FWIW.
