    I started using Authy instead of GA because every time I changed the ROM on my phone I would lose all codes, because I would forget every time.

      Use aegis, export the keys and then reimport them every time you switch. Trusting your second factor to a cloud is a disaster waiting to happen.

      If you want to get fancy setup your own cloud server (nextcloud, Seafile, owncloud etc) and set the backup folder for aegis to the self hosted cloud for easy restore every time you switch ROMs.

      GA now backups your codes in your Google account, so this doesn’t happen anymore.

      I’ve started putting mine into my Bitwarden vault as well as Google auth, mainly because I’m a bit paranoid I’ll wind up locked out of something by trusting a second factor too much

        With password recovery you shouldn’t be getting locked out of anything. I don’t see this being a risk.
