I think rest assured your backups will be encrypted-by-password. Though, I often find myself wondering if this represents going in circles with security. If the security surface of all of your 2FA keys now reduce to one measly password, wel

I guess it depends on the illness. If it's an actually-treatable disease, maybe not totally rude to suggest (non-?)alternatives, haha.
