> how many times have you had your phone/ipad/laptop get stolen/mugged for/lost, or all three I lost my iPhone in a taxi once. Had laptop die once. Not at the same time. > how did you recover/break back into your digital life Bought another phone, logged into my iCloud account with password and 2FA to my GMail account, got the code on my laptop. For catastrophic losses like you describe you should have the MFA backup code(s) printed and stored somewhere safe. I keep them with my passport and a backup copy on a secure USB key. I avoid having all of my stuff in the same place at the same time. I don't travel to/live in places where I have to worry about having my things stolen, or getting mugged. Can happen anywhere but some places have much higher crime rates than others. I didn't mention MFA backup codes, but anyone using MFA at all should print those out and have a couple of copies in safe places.
