Are you using Google Authenticator?

If so, how do you backup your secrets?

It has an export function that you can scan from an old phone. And I kept the setup keys in my keepass database.

On top of that now Google backs those up for you too.

I use a self-hosted Bitwarden instance for that kind of stuff and before that I used Aegis + Synchthing.
