So basically what title says.

Im using 2FA with google authenticator for multiple accounts. What if my phone gets stolen? Can I have some kind of backup? Or maybe sync with some self hosted service?

Bonus question: what 2FA should I use instead of google?

    Use Aegis on android or 2FAS on iOS. And just backup your seed on hdd/usb stick. Dont upload on cloud.

      IOS has a 2FA feature included in the key chain (passwords) settings. No need for a third party app. If you backup passwords via icloud, you are already set.

    There are many forms of 2FA. I’m guessing you mean TOTPs oh you actually wrote that, my bad lol.

    I copy the keys from Aegis to KeePassXC. KeyPassXC’s database is part of my regular backup. This way I have two apps generating the same TOTPs.
